1/4″ Clear Acrylic Tube -16″ Long

Why does BRS recommend this?

Acrylic tubes have many different purposes. Using these for DIY projects like kalkwasser drippers, feeding tubes and they even can be used to help add support small aquascapes, it is always a good idea to have extra acrylic tubing on hand.

16″ of clear acrylic tube with 1/4″ outside diameter. Perfect for making your own Kalk dripper or other 2 part reservoirs. These tubes will accept 1/4″ push connect fittings.

How to cut:

To cut the tube we recommend using a new razor blade and score the outside of the tube where you want the cut to be. The scoring mark should be about half of the overall thickness of the tube. After scoring completely the tube should snap easily with a clean break. A little sandpaper can clean up any sharp edges or defects in the break.

Aquascaping

If used for aquascaping we recommend using short sections to help stabilize the structure. You can use a small drill bit to recess the tube and then either secure both rocks together with either epoxy or super glue. We suggest using this rod to help secure your already semi-stable aquascape. Large sections of acrylic tube under the weight of the rock can may cause the tube to bend or break.

Note: Acrylic tube works with standard 1/4″ push connect fittings.
