Proclear aquarium return fittings

[Draven]

I accidentally broke this bit of the return line on my proclear aquarium. I know it's metric so I can't build a new one at Lowe's and I kinda want the original piece anyhow. If any one knows where I could buy a replacement that would be huge. I've looked on official websites and eBay to bo avail.

Could you send me a link to the parts I need?

 

[Uncle99]

Seven years ago, sorry I have no link.
Have you contacted Pro-Clear.com in Jacksonville Florida?

I can only leave an email so that could be a while

True, they were a little slow getting back.
If you have an LFS which sells pro-clear, they may be able to speed it up.

I've got a buddy who works at a lfs that sells them so I'll see if he can help me out.

Good move.
What broke, the female attachment that screws onto the male underneath the tank?

No the bit that connects to the rest of the return line the grey one in the middle. And the grey slip on the other end is either glued or welded so it doesn't come off which means all three need replaced. Not a big deal if I could find them.

I see.
Can you cut off the bottom grey fitting and just replace with a metric coupler or metric gate valve.

On mine, the black supplied tube screws onto the bottom port of the tank, then I have a metric coupler, then gate valve, then straight to sump.

Do you remember the size coupler you needed none of these pieces have a mention of size on them

The price I show was 5 years ago.
Sorry, inflation.

Well it looks like we've got this all figured out if my guy at the lfs can't get it and I don't get an email soon I'll have to bite the bullet and spend 30 bucks on a small piece of plastic. Thanks for all the help

Welcome
Hope all works out for you…

Can’t see Pro-Clear being any cheaper.

No probably more but at least I wouldn't have to change any other parts

Just a quick question since proclear hasn't responded so you think I could just super glue it back together. And if so does it have to be reef safe super glue?
