    Hi everyone, I just filled my 3x2x2 tank with water and also hooked up my 2026 to it. However, my tank has bracings all round and no holes are drilled to allow any pipings. Therefore, I DIYed some piping to connect to the 2026 using PVC piping and elbow joints. However, the flowrate seems to have slowed down. What can I do? Could the PVC piping affect it?

    Why dont you use those hard plastic U-shaped tubings so it doesn't kink when it goes over the tank?? that should help it i think.. NA has those that are the nice translucent green colour and quite cheap only 3-4 dollars for one.

    The pipes and hose that I'm using doesn't have any kinks... I tried those green tubes but they don't fit over my bracing...

    try not to have sharp 90 degrees turns in your pipings. if necessary go for 90 degree bends, which is bigger and takes more space.
    also ensure that the internal diameter of the new piping sections are same size or bigger than the original pipings.

    Does anyone know where I can get those 90 degree bends instead of the elbows?
