Hi,
I am in the process of switching out a hang on the back filter for an Oase filtosmart 60.
I've ordered some lily pipes for the tank, but the issue I'm having is that the original tubing for the filtosmart is really, really stiff.
The tank is pretty low, and the pipes extend a fair bit down, so I'm having to curve the tubing in an S shape, which really does not work with the stiff tubing.
I have tried hot water to soften the tubing up a bit (not tried boiling water though), and that helped a bit - but not enough.
Could I replace the tubing for the type that is commonly used in water systems in camper vans/boats? It's pretty flexible and made from EVA. The 9mm size would fit the lilypipes and filter.
