Tunze 3155 ATO tubing help

[Fishingandreefing]

I need a tubing for the 3155. Found info online that it’s 4mm x 7mm but lots of people who got them from Amazon that didn’t fit as advertised. I don’t want to deal with tunze because it sounds a long wait.

If someone had ordered one lately and it fits, please let me know. Thx

I'm sure you can find something from these folks.

That might be my last resort but want to get it from Amazon first since it’s shipped with prime. Thx

I use tubing from Home Depot. Same type used for connecting ice makers to a water supply.

This may be the OPS next question since they probably got it used... It seems like new comes with 1/4 pipe

What is the safest way to dump the water into your DT/Sump? I figured maybe 2 90's degree push in, but how are you keeping the line from kicking out of the tank.

Also, way above the surface to stop a siphon.

That I will plan about it. I definitely need to raise the exiting tubing higher as I am having syphoning issue and the float valve keep clogging since I am dosing kalk via ato

I just watched a BRS video and I see now that the person I purchased my ATO from did not include the bracket for holding the water line onto the tank. I see a few other parts missing as well.. bummer.

I will need to see if I can find another creative way to keep the line from kicking back

So using this connect directly to the pump then using regular 1/4 rodi tubings?

Yep. Just like that. Then use RO tubing instead. I upgraded mine like this a couple years ago and it has been rock solid

Are those fittings safe to use as they are fully submerged in RO water and isn't there metal in there? Thank you.

They are completely safe and have been used for years with no issue
