I use these, and just recently set up a herbie, which requires 2 hoses. Made the tank almost silent.Thoughts on flexible drain tubing? I’m thinking of using 1 inch drain tubing from my hydroponic grow tub to a trigger sump, best way to achieve this?
Which tubing do you recommend ? Do barb fittings reduce flow much?I prefer flexible, cheaper (often), no glue required, sometimes harder to work with until you figure out soaking in hot water.
And where do I find that? Is there a particular tubing at Lowe’s or Home Depot that people recommend?I have used the black flexible spa tubing for 15 years or more. Glues right into pvc fittings.
Eshopps makes a flex tube in convenient lengths. Flow loss is not substantial with barbs.Which tubing do you recommend ? Do barb fittings reduce flow much?
Anything specifically at Lowe’s you could recommend I know that’s not eshopps but I see they have lots of other hosesEshopps makes a flex tube in convenient lengths. Flow loss is not substantial with barbs.
No like one of the white hydroponic tubsWhat is the grow tub? One of those stock tanks?
It really does glue up the same? I’ve always heard that but have been skepticalFlexible pvc is the way to go. Glues up like regular pvc, can use pvc fittings with it and gives you softer bends for greater pressure.
Yep, it still is made mostly of PVC, so the 'glue' works just as well as hard glue. And once its glued, its not coming out.It really does glue up the same? I’ve always heard that but have been skeptical
Yep, did my entire tank and basement fish room/sump with it. Use regular primer and pvc glue. Get pvc fittings from Home Depot and any ball or gate valves from supply house. Beautiful stuff. Nice, gradual turns. Not hard ones like you get with regular pvc.It really does glue up the same? I’ve always heard that but have been skeptical
