Since I don't use my intake from my Eheim 2128 and use the Eheim Installation sets instead, I decided to put the original Eheim intake to good use for my water changes/filling...
This is what I used...
- Eheim 16mm/22mm intake tube
- 2" piece of Eheim 16/22mm tubing
- 2" piece of Python tubing.placed some tubing (Python and Eheim tubing)
- A 1/2" (size of Python tubing) to 5/8" barb (size of Eheim tubing)
- Python connecters
- Pre-filter sponge, used from my Mag drive pump
I cut the intake tube and connected the appropriate tubing and connectors, which look like this...
After it's assembled, it will look like this...
Lots of people use PVC piping, which is cheaper, but I think it's ugly looking and to clunky to carry around.
