    Powerhead Filter

    The other day I purchased an Aqua-Tech Powerhead that has a flow of 170 GPH.
    I want to make an attachment to turn it into a filter. Was hoping someone could give me some insight on what kind of PVC or tubing is safe to put into my tank.
    Or maybe someone could post a couple links to get me on the road to success!

    Thanks

    Re: Powerhead Filter

    regular PVC pipe/fittings are fine to put in your aquarium, as well as CPVC is fine too. Just make sure you dont use anything metal and clean the plastic pipe and allow the glue and cleaner to fully dry before submerging into your tank.

    PVC pipe are cool to use in aquarium... just sealed the fittings... and let it dry if you used a glue for it....
