The plastic piece inside the nut that looks like a ring with four prongs? That's a compression ring that needs to go on the tubing before you tighten down the nuts.Question for you guys that have one. Mine came with what I consider a cap or adapter over the X1 Pro T tube connectors. It wasn't obvious to me they were on there until it fell out when I was wrestling with trying to get my tubing into the connectors. Struggled with this for awhile thinking maybe it was my tube size. Tried softening with hot water, but eventually they fell out. Does anyone know what those are and if they're important and should be saved?

Where they able to do this?Thank you, good to know! Will send them an email to see if they can add it to my English account.
This will be my first experience but seems to be pretty straightforward. From what I can tell it's the nozzles, hose, zip ties, and recalibration.Thank you @robocop1906
Is it similar to buying bulk tubing that you'll have to measure, cut and reuse the nozzles? I see the FX-STP sold as an assembly unit similar to the link below. I'm sure DIY is not difficult and I would imagine you need to get the length within 1-2mm in order to have enough contact for the pump to rotate and squeeze appropriately to move fluid. Very doable I'm sure if it's that simple. I also noticed that the FX-STP advertises a 2000 hour life, suggesting there may be different quality thus life in the tubes. I rather spend a few more bucks and get 2x the life given the labor to replace periodically. Do you know if there are high grades of tubing to buy?
So far the pump has worked flawlessly since install granted I've already clocked in 200+ hrs running it at 60ml/min. I did notice the app changed my location to China, but that hasn't affected anything that I can tell.

I’m game and willing to give it a whirl. Will look into buying some tubing. Prob buy another replacement head while I’m at it too since likely all this stuff is coming from China. Any idea what part number for the head?This will be my first experience but seems to be pretty straightforward. From what I can tell it's the nozzles, hose, zip ties, and recalibration.
I would imagine once they start selling the pumps in the US they will come available. Between now and then your safest bet is to email support on how to get a replacement pump. Their site is not the best.
I just checked for you and don't see it listed at the moment. I actually don't see any Kamoer products at the moment, but the site seems to carry more products now than before. I won't how much these products are impacted by the chip shortage. Even my freezer is on backorder before of the shortage.Anyone have a link to the page on aquariumlowcost? I cannot find any of the kamoer products on their site.
I got a response from the company. They said its out of stock for right now, and they pull all advertisements for products out of stock. Never heard of a store doing that before. I think I'll order a couple when back in stock though. They said about 10 days, and when they are on the website it's back in stockI just checked for you and don't see it listed at the moment.

I'm in the same boat as you. Between this and the versa I'm not sure I'll ever get a cheaper continuous duty pump.I got a response from the company.
