FX6 Replacement hose, outlet/inlet

[Eagle2943]

I’ve just setup an FX6 but really not keen on the corrugated hose and clips, someone recommended using the JBL Outset/InSet kits which are 19/25, I could then use a quality Eheim 19/27 hose. The 19/27 hose also should fit snuggly straight on to the stock Fluval valves that connect to the top of the FX6.

Has anyone else tried this? Are there any better off the shelf products? I’m not great with DIY so would prefer a stock off the shelf product.

Whilst the 19/27 hose is a bit smaller than the stock hose which I believe is 24mm ID, is this an issue? I have a moderately stocked 360L tank.

Has anyone at all moved away from the stock pipes?

Hi all,

Has anyone at all moved away from the stock pipes?

They aren't filters I've used personally, but we have some threads <"Search results for query: fluval ribbed hose">, which may offer some answers.
