have you tried home Depot, Home Hardware or Rona? I'm sure they all should have a decent selection of sizes.

Check out NewLine, that area between Surrey and Langley - mental block. You will find anything you want there but has minimum charge.
Also note that Fluval use special fitting so typ. hose may not want or cost too much to adapt. $7.99 or so for a full 10 foot length of original flival with fitting is not that bad. Call KE or Roger's.

I have fluval tube but I have a question:
How do you cut them to the right length? I tried to unplug the rubber end but I can't.
Do you cut it and buy those rubber end and fit it? Do you need to apply some glue? I am afraid it might leak because it has thread.
I am sorry for for many questions.

As far as I remember, the end with the fixed rubber go to the canister side - do not temper with that. There should be a loose rubber piece that you slip onto the cut end and stays there by friction and goes to your intake pipe and output spray. Originally Posted by Fansons
