Hey guys,

I was curious where you guys got your ridgid tubing from to make the venturi reactor??

I've checked the local hardware stores and such (I live in Calgary, Alberta) and I just can't seem to find any. The only stuff I can get is the flexible stuff.

It seems like a bit much to order online, and I wouldn't even know where to do that.

Was hoping you guys could help out.

Thanks,

Not sure what Venturi reactor you are referring to, but in a bind, you can use what they sell as gravel vacs in pet stores.

Any strong plastic bottle found in Ma's kitchen might work too...

They specialize in small raw materials for project work, research and hobbies.

I think Aflac is referring to the Tube that goes down inside the middle of the reactor that supplies the CO2... That's why they said "Ridged Tubing"... Home Depot & Lowes carries them, even my LFS does too... I don't know where in Canada you'd find them, but, if you have a hoe improvement store around, they would probably have them there! I don't know what size to use either, so I can't help you out there. I would guess it should be able to have the CO2 line go over it snug. <~~???

If that's what they are referring to--then:

1) I've never understood the need for it--just run the regular tubing down inside....

and

2) Its the tubing for the airline for an UGF. A local petstore should have it---If not, I have Plenty: Shoot me a PM with your mailing address and I will mail a small piece to you....

Thanks for the replies guys.

I was referring to the small piece of tubing that goes down inside. I checked the Home Depot and a couple other spots but most of them looked at me like I had three heads when I asked for help.

I found a viewtainer to use for the housing piece just looking for the tubing now.

Maybe I can give it a whirl with just regular tubing and see how it goes.

Thanks again.

Give it a shot. If it doesn't work - just let me know and I can cut a couple of biz size envelope pieces....
