Reefers!

Want to know how far away from the Apex you can run your DOS? Today I explore that and how to get it done.

Perfect timing on this video, what tubing do you recommend for longer water change setup runs

On all of the AWC systems I've installed here at BRS, I always use the 1/4" polyethylene tubing for RODI units.

Thanks that’s what I was planning on using, it’s always good to get confirmation on my choice

I use mine for awc and Brs 1/4” rodi tubing. I connect it with John guest push fittings.

It looked like you just plugged aquabus cables together? I had to buy a female-female USB connector to connect my two 30 foot cables together.

The Neptune Aquabus Extension cables have a male and female end so you can daisy them together.

I guess I messed up and bought 2 aquabus 30 ft cables rather than one 30 ft cable and one 30 ft extension cable.

Go with a good quality fitting for the RO tubing as well, like John Guest. Not worth cheaping out on the ebay clones for a few bucks when it can mean air getting into the lines in the future. I'm a fan of using bulkhead fittings and Push x fixed 90º stems when going through walls, much more flexible for installation. Cordmate II "conduit" can comfortably hold two 1/4" lines and the USB line for the dos as well, FYI
