So the pharmed or norprene tubing is better?

I'd say they are pretty close to the same, I think the norprene might be rated for a little longer life, but you'll end up changing them out before that anyway. I change mine out now regularly at 6 months regardless now that I have 30 feet of it.

Norprene are a lot cheaper so I guess I'll get some of that. Do annual tube change. How often do you change yours?

I edited my post, I change mine out pretty regularly. I have so much on hand now and it's so fast to take apart the pump clean it up and slap in a new 7 inches of tube that I do it whenever I find time every 4-6 months or so.
 
Scuzy. Let me know if you want to split an order. I definitely don't need 30 ft.

The Tygon Pharmed located at link provided above is....

"Available with an Amazon Business account and healthcare license"

Whaaaaa?
 
Thanks for the links. I ordered the noroprene since the other requires a business license. I would be ok with ordering spectrapure stuff but I don't see it available anywhere anymore. I bought the unit used and there is no telling when the tubing was changed last.
 
are there a lot of peeps still using litermeter III ? are they good for doing automatic water changes? Just picked up a used one last week, what are you guys thoughts on these old school units?
 
I have always used Spectrapure for replacements since it lasts for a long time.
Buy directly.
A Litremeter is a great piece of equipment many people still use.

I use mine for ATO on a small tank. It's a good pump but I wouldn't use it for something like an auto water change, though, I'm sure some reefers do.
 
There are quite a few doing constant water changes with the Litremeter.
It moves water 150 times a day & with the addition of an extra pump module is quite effective.

can you explain how you have it setup for automatic water changes? I just found a used one and have no clue but have heard of it being able to do

With 2 pumps you have one removing "dirty" water and one replacing "new saltwater"
Often times extra fail-safes may be added to ensure one head doesn't pump faster than the other,etc...
