grunt031 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Any LFS that is Hagen dealer/supplier will have them or can order them in. I usually get my replacement parts from PJ Pets. Big Al's will sometimes have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprucegruve Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 how long is the wait if i order it through a LFS? generally speaking of course would it be quicker to order straight through hagen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaFishMommy Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 i would just take the fittings in to a hardware store and get tubing that is the right diameter. those fluval hoses are a pain in the tookus because the ribbing on them collects so much crap. plus, tubing at a hardware store is going to be oodles cheaper! just be sure to get tubing that is thick walled enough that it won't kink.

jvision Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 If you have a piece of tubing, take it to Rona or Home Depot or Totem and get the right size. It doesn't matter if it's green or says Fluval on it - it's pretty much all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprucegruve Posted October 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 i dont have the tubing but ill bring the top of the filter to the store and see if i can find a hose that fits well. thanks for the help guys, i diddent really want to get the fluval hose because like you said it has that annoying ribbing.
