FX6 Hoses/Bulkheads

[Brent Mohar]

I want to use my current FX6 on an acrylic tank that I want to drill for bulkheads. My concern is attaching the flexible ribbed hoses (which I believe are 24mm) to the bulkheads. Or is there a better plumbing connection system. I just didn't want to run the hoses over the side. Thanks for any input.

You could probably find the right size vinyl tubing to replace the ribbed FX6 hoses and then install hose barb fittings into the bulkheads.

Thank you. May try that. The metric 24mm made me worried.

You might be able to find metric tubing but if not then just find the closest size in standard sizes and it should flex plenty to give you a good fit.

I use 1" vinyl tubing for my fx5s. Hose clamps are a must.

OK. Thanks. That sounds like a practical solution.
