Need Tunze 3155 Tubing

[sclaussen]

My ATO supply is say 20-25 feet from my aquarium - the tubing Tunze ships isn't nearly long enough. After trying for 30 minutes to get a quarter inch tubing to work I read up and it appears the Tunze tubing is 7mm OD/4mm ID. I've spent another 30 minutes now trying to find someone who sells 7mm tube that I can get 25 or 50 feet of with no success.

Can someone point me in the right direction? I need someone who can ship to California.

Thanks!
Shane

Roger has it in 10 ft pieces but not sure if longer are available. He will be likely back tomorrow

Does he also have tube to tube union connectors?

I have the connectors but the best bet is 5000.380, this is 10M, about 32ft of tubing. It is $13.42. Keep in mind the maximum head of the pump is 9ft, at 9ft the flow equals 0, so you must not pump higher than 8.5ft about. Log runs tend to be problematic, if at all possible I would change your plan. The pump can struggle to prime with such a long tube, the extended wiring is likely to corrode and most people make these huge runs to connect to large reservoirs, which does defeat the safety afforded by a much more limited volume of water. If you want to go with the tubing, we have it, call 512-833-7546
