Hi everyone,

Does anyone know where I can find these hose reducers locally? http://www.westmarine.com/1/1/20992-barbed-hose-reducer-1-2-5-8-from-seafit.html#

It's for connecting my Eheim canister filter with an in-line heater, CO2 diffuser, and inflow/outflow pipes. Since their connectors are all at various sizes, I'm looking for something to securely connect them together.



Thanks in advance!

If you have the dimensions you can get any reducer at your local hardware store or Superstore (ie: Home Depot, Rona etc).

Brent`s suggestion is the way to go, if you are stuck Big Al`s also carries the Eheim ones in store.

I'm not sure how 'local' is local to you but, did you know West Marine has a store in Kingston? Fantastic place.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I just ended up getting something identical to the one pictured but made by Eheim from Big Al's. I couldn't believe a simple piece of plastic tubing like that warranted $6.99. I was quite amazed at the prices of Eheim parts in general.
