I just fitted mine. Drilled 1mm holes every other mark of the speedfit pipe, which is 2 inches. I used the rigid pipe for the main rings and used garden hose from these to the air pump. Works a treat.
Hi Guys one thing to remember is some garden hose is not fish safe and can lead to problems when in the water,similar to the ones which you should not use for filling you pond with.
I remember a guy who was testing his water and wondered what was wrong,it was the hose pipe he was using that was causing all the problems!!!
This also happened recently to a guy testing ORP and when he removed the pipe he noticed the difference but cant remember the pipe...Geoff what pipe was it please????
Leave some hose out over night and then test the water in the morning,if its left out in the summer you may be surprised at what you find
Never heard of it, but will need to keep a very close eye on the fish from now on.
When you mention leaving it out in the summer, are you suggesting that it breaks down or leaches chemicals if exposed to the sun, or is it a case of bacteria breeding in the hose?
