Corrugated hose

[Wildreefs]

Does anyone see an issue using the Beckett brand corrugated hose?

Got it from Home Depot, it’s used for ponds, says safe for plants and fish.

I have to run long times to my sump, I think this stuff will be more pliable then vinyl.

I know the ribs might block some flor, but I have too much as it is.

Thanks

I wouldn’t use that stuff. Just use some reinforced vinyl hose. You can get it in the plumbing section of HD or Lowes.

I use reinforced vinyl or spa hose

I have 20 feet of it. I understand it may not be as good, but would you say it’s harmful?

Don't go vinyl, vinyl/braided yes, and one you mentioned. I used vinyl with no braiding, it kinked and I lost all corals. Kinked hose went to chiller. Bummer

Yes it is. The material I’m assuming is safe in saltwater?


Would think if it’s safe for pond fish , (koi) should be fine for saltwater?

Only issue I see is connecting to hose barb fittings. To soften ends use boiling water(microwave) . If need be

You should be fine because that is the same hose that comes with the fluval fx canisters

If you speaking of the blue hose, sometimes referenced as vacuum hose it will be fine as Derek mentions. I still have 2 sitting in my old wet dry I ran for years. Just be sure to get the correct connections to avoid leaks.

And don’t use for pressure lines
