I am turning a standard 15g (24x12x12") into a homemade AIO. I am using a 12x12" piece of 3/16" acrylic to create a 4x12" internal overflow/false wall. I am planning on using a Maxi-jet 600 or 900 for my return pump.
The problem I am running into is designing the return output. I would like to use Loc-line but I am having difficulty figuring out how to convert flexible tubing from the MJ (1/2"?) to Loc-line. I would like to use something like THIS (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dual-Nozzle-Loc-Line-1-2-Modular-Pipe-Sump-Return_W0QQitemZ300221531383QQihZ020QQcategoryZ3212QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1 638Q2em118Q2el1247) but it is a threaded MPT adapter which won't work with the flexible tubing.
Any help/ideas are greatly appreciated!
