So my current 20 gallon long is my first AIO. (Kit added) so it was a fijicube AIO box, that came with return pump hose, according to the website it's 12mm, so half inch. Is there something specific I need to look for when ordering more hose, or will a generic half inch silicone hose work?
 
You just need the inside diameter of the hose to ensure it will fit. Definitely stick with silicone hosing.
So if fijucube gave me the dimensions of 12 mm, would this be ID or OD you think? It literally just says: hose size-12mm

That's always the million dollar question. Usually it's ID, but... If you have a Home Depot (etc.) you can always take a portion of your current hose down and match it up.

Guess I could email fijicube and ask as well, but good idea on the HD deal.
 
OD would make zero sense, but maybe that's why you should be concerned :oops:
