I have to make the simple ozone reactor. What I had found so far - Randy Holmes-Farley article on tubing reactor link (http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2006-04/rhf/index.php) . However, I have to idea how to connect this semi-hard tubing to the pump output.

Can you help?
Thanks.

Thats tricky. Depending on the pump, you can use a threaded push in fitting adapter, or a push fit coupler.

A 1/2" John Guest (or similar) push fit connector goes right onto a MJ1200, then stick your tube in the other end of the connector. Very clean:)

I guess you could also heat the tubing then shove it on the outlet.

Yes, it will be Maxi or Mini-Jet. So, push connector. No zip-tie around connection, or it will not help anyway?
Thanks.
