Phenomena Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Took these off Aquasonic website, so some LFS in Sydney must stock it, preferably in the west/north: Single brass air valve: I'd like to make something like this: TIA... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdance Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Aquasonic stuff can be expensive.... If your after the bottom 6 valve thingo, they come as part of large air pumps. The Pump, LP60 pumps etc. Look up that part # and see if it can be ordered in? Most fishroom keepers dont use them since they have central air lines so maybe somone will give you theirs? I have about 10 of them but Im overseas for a long while yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Why not use barbed/threaded inrigation tap fittings in plastic? I have used them to plumb my fish room and I know others have also. At about 90c each from a irragation store they would have to be a fraction of the price of brass ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomena Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thanks for the replies. Fishdance: The part (manifold) you're talking about can be ordered from Aquariumproducts. But not exactly how I want it. That's why I want to custom made it. If I can't then maybe that's the last resort. Josh: I've been thinking about that and I've seen yours setup that way. The only reason I want the metal one is because it's more durable, quicker to fine tune and you can screw it to the PVC pipe by drilling a smaller hole. The plastic one will need to be sealed with silicone or something. BTW, I didn't know the plastic one comes threaded. So, thanks. I'll ring around some shops, if no luck then I'll go with the plastic irrigation one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkesg Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hey, Our sponsor AOA has these on their website: AOA or Trans Aquarium, Canley Vale has them. HTH Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bit Racer Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 You could always DIY. I have, and it consists of some clear hosing with the diameter of your air blower outlet, some irrigation valves about the size of air hosing and a hose end plug/cap. I'd put some photos up but my fish room has an unsightly cockroach poop problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH Grant if you buy frmcanley vale, make sure you ask the son or mother, they normally give you discounts if you ask for it, dont bother with the daughter there, she is just not interested in being friendly with discount even if you are buying $500 of fish!
