Hi,

I used to run a tropiquarium 88 for a while then as the fish started to eventually die off I did not replenish it and once it was empty of fish I drained it and put it into storage. I'm in a new house now and have a perfect spot to set it back up. I've re-ordered all the filter material etc that I need to get it back up and running. While cleaning it I noticed a few things had gone walkies. One of the things I've noticed that I can seem to get a replacement for is a hollow tube that used to go from the bottom of the pump head down into the bottom of the biolife casing. I can't find a spare part number for that anywhere. I'm assuming it served a sensible purpose when it was there (a guess it made the pump suck from the bottom of the tank rather than just from the surface). Does anybody have one of these spare or know where I can get one? What difference will there be if I can't get one? Any help would be much appreciated.


Thanks
Pod

hi podman, welcome to the forum...was it a white tube,similar to an undergravel filter uplift tube? also what type of biolife is it as there are a couple of different types!

Thanks for the welcome, I'll be honest I can't remember what it was like but that sounds about rite. As for the model I think it's a biolife 55 from a tropiquarium 88.

it's attached to the bottom of the 13910 (impeller cover) I think it's 13906 (number bit blured) the intake stem. Can't seem to find one anywhere.

have you tried to order direct from hagen?

no, didn't realise you could. Says to locate a local dealer so I assumed they only sold through dealers.
I'll try and give them a call now :d


Thanks

Contacted them and they said that they can't help me.

Anybody got any other suggestions?

have a little look on e-bay to see if you can pick up one as spare's?

I forgot welcome to the forum !

or if you can work out the function of the tube you may if your good at DIY be able to bodge one out of some tubing !........some of us here are good at very professional diy modifications
