My plumbing is put together by the guy who sold me the sump, and I suck at plumbing.

I have a mag 7 pump and pvc pipe for return. It is just a U pvc piece that dumps water back into the display tank. I want to get the Aquafuge HOB fuge and that PVC pipe gets in the way. I want to replace the PVC with flexible tube.

1) What kind of tube should I use?
2) What do you use to hold the tube in place where it shoots water back to the display?

It'd be great if you have some pictures.

Thanks.

You could duplicate the "U" you described out of PVC, use a barbed end and get some clear tubing from HD or Me-nards. Just cover the tube with some black electrical tape so it doesn't get overgrown with scummy algae like mine :brainoverload:

Here's what I did....
