13mm black intake pipe?

[DanMac]

I have looked all over the internet and cannot find a simple black plastic intake pipe, I already have one but it is square at the top and would like one that is rounded, I have a glass outflow pipe but dont want a glass inlet as it will slow the flow.

Can anyone send me a link to a 13mm one?, appreciate it.

I only know the JBL ones bit I think you mean that one with squared...

Is this what you're after?

No I think hes after a curved pipe not squared edges. The bend that goes over the edge of the tank to be curved instead.

Yeah I have a squared jbl one but want one that is curved at the top

I'm after the same pipe...had one but cut it down for the school nano. Now I can't work out where it came from! Black has to be the bog-standard background colour for most planted tanks surely?

 

[DanMac]

Yeah i thought they would be the most common but turns out thats not the case. Bumping incase anyone else know where to get one

Is this JBL any good?

 

[DanMac]

Either you didn't post the link , or it didn't work mate

Worked for me dan but its the jbl one you already have, have you considered a gush inlet more slits so doesn't slow flow as much ime another alternative would be DIY shepherds crook with black acrylic tube.

Thats weird tim nothing is showing for me, Also to be honest i dont really want a glass intake at this point because i dont want to disconnect it to clean it all the time, where as my glass outflow is at the front side of my tank and i should be able to clean it with a pipe cleaning brush without disconnecting it.

I am satisfied with my current intake pipe, I would just prefer to have one that is curved at the top.

The link is the word 'this' in stu's post above, works for me too 🙂
It's a link highlighted in green via the forum and blue on tapatalk.

how do you do links so they aren't a mega long name? sorry to threadjack

Have a look for plastic tube supplies on eBay and make one yourself if you've got a hot air gun.

Could be a good idea but i dont have a hot air gun and would prefer to buy one with a perfect finish to it.

Bumping the thread incase anyone knows where to buy one, Seems strange that it's so hard to fine one.

I dont know if you will be able to find one here in the uk but search google for fluval 103 /203 intake or jbl cristalprofi 250,

Both of these had black curved intakes but I cant find a uk seller loads in germany and america via ebay

Hope these help

I googled those and couldnt find anything mate, also they are 12mm and mine is 13mm, not sure if that would make a diference

If you can find something the right size, how about putting a length of heat shrink tube over it.
(And you can probably pick up a heat gun on eBay for just a few quid.)

The Aqua One parts I used for Crypt's Palace work great. Here's one link. (the pipes are 12mm, but fit 13mm tubing, which has 12mm internal diameter, perfectly).

I can't believe that there are no UK suppliers of black intakes! The Aqua 1 is grey - getting there but....
