Hello recently picked up a nyos 160 skimmer and I'm trying to find an elbow that will fit on the drain so that I can use my collection container with auto shut off.


It's a 3/8" or 10mm barb but it's such a tight space if you just push a hose on it kinks it off.

About head to auto parts store and see what they have to try..... someone on the nyos Facebook page posted a pic with an elbow but has not replied to my question as to where they got it


I thought about notching the bottom part to allow the hose to fit on better but I need the elbow to kick the hose out over the edge of my sump.

Any help would be appreciated!!!
 
I have that 160, and was having same issue and I totally fixed with one of the elbows that it comes with the two little fishes reactors, I am using one tied with a small tie wrap, it works like a champ!!!
