Loc Line in Calgary

[Willito]

Is there a place in Calgary that sell this? I just need about 4' plus a "Y" connector. What about online?

The only loc-line I could find locally is the cool blue and orange stuff intended for machine coolant. If you want the traditional black aquarium stuff, J&L and OA carries it.

I lied, the gray loc-line knockoff is available in Calgary.

I get it here in Calgary at A.C.T. Equipment (Todd Currie).
Bay 10, 7003 30th Street SE.
279-6016 or tcurrie@actequipment.com

Also, big Al's has bits & pieces.

I have two return lines in blue with orange ends...looks kind of neat. It is a great product if you want to move your flow around.

I think the blue and orange are totally what reefs are about. I prefer them color over the black ones anyways. I'll check hyour lead out Mikey. Where did you get yours Kari?

[kari]

Picked mine up at A.C.T. That is were I seen the light gray colored stuff as well.

I found some, but now do I need to also purchase the Hose Plier to connect the different segments together?

I can manage without the pliers. Try snapping it together and apart before installing in the tank. Do all the assembly before snapping it into final position. I take it apart by bending it beyond its limit...snap!

The only thing I find is that my leverage is effected by how I can lean into the tank to snap and unsnap. Sometime I insert a small pry bar (end of a screwdriver) into it to snap it apart quickly in the tank.

Good Luck.

PS...don't have the ends pointed up when you turn on your pumps.....it will shoot water across the room.....

Awesome, thanks for the tips Mikey. The cheapest I found so far is about about $10/ft. Is A.C.T any better, do you know?

[kari]

Willito, where did you find it? Was it the black pipe? I guess it doesn't really matter on color since it gets covered in coraline anyway. I don't remember the price at A.C.T.
