How Fish Tank Tubing Works

Tubing plays a simple but vital role in ensuring your tank runs smoothly. It connects your water filtration system to other tank equipment and allows water to flow from the tank to the filter and back.

Without proper tubing, your tank’s water filtration system could fail, leading to stagnant water that puts your fish at risk for all kinds of dangerous illnesses.

How to Install Fish Tank Tubing

Installing the tubing is easy, but keeping precision is key. Make sure the tubing matches the diameter of your filter or pump outlets exactly to avoid leaks or blockages.

Tubing should be cut to the correct length to ensure water flows properly without any bends or kinks. It’s also essential to use fittings to secure tubing in place and avoid air gaps.

Maintaining Your Tubing Over Time

Over time, tubing can wear down, especially in tanks with high water flow, multiple fish that form a lot of waste or if it’s exposed to chemicals.

Regularly check your tubing for any signs of wear and tear or blockages, and be sure to clean it periodically to remove any buildup. If you notice a reduction in water flow, it might be time to replace the tubing.
