Just getting all my plumbing parts together and I need to find some return flow parts, I have two return pumps using 1” pipes I’ve bought some 3/4” inserts so I have 3/4” female threads and I’m struggling to find the nozzle / loc-line parts that are either in stock or not pull your pants down prices in the right sizes in the UK

any suggestions please?

Not sure about UK but if locline isnt available, ive hard plumbed returns with proper flow and surface aggitation.
Just gotta get creative with the plumbing.

I also went with a cheaper fixture for my temporary 10g holding tank and im extremely happy with the results for $70.
Check out the nicrew light that looks like the round kessils if you decide you dont like the strip
I’m good for lights thank you

if you still havent found anything, they have printable adapters that will switch from 1" PVC into a 3/4" loc line. I have printed them myself and they work well

Thanks but the custom tank these were for turned out to be awful so it was returned. I now have a DD reef pro tank, so the ones i bought from the usa sit unused lol

Pewp about them being unused, but AWESOME you got a better tank out of the deal!!
Lol hardly, had to pay for and lost money on the oak cabinet i strengthened for the custom tank and about £200 worth of plumbing fittings i bought and didnt need let alone ghe masses of time wasted - to say i was a little p****d off was an understatement lol

Save those plumbing pieces, start your randoms bucket early, that way it gets super messy super fast.
