Does anyone know the size of tubing for ..

Bubble magus dosing pumps?? Not the tubing inside the actual dosing pump, but the tubing to and from the doser. I think it's 1/8" ID. Can anyone confirm this? Been looking all over the Internet for info and can't find any. And no online shops sell "dosing pump tubing".
Thanks.

Go small. I'm running 5/32" and it kinda dribbles out and air gets in the stupid line.

Im running 1/4" airline tubing. Works fine
You could search for medical dosers and see what they use. I believe its like 4mm

I read on RC it was 1/8 ID

Tried that, it was too big. Unless I got something different and didn't realize it.

Weird. I also use airline tubing that I got at pet smart. The same kind you drip acclimate fish with.

I got the line from Lowes, so maybe it was bigger then airline tubing.

My new sump fills up the whole cabinet, so I moved my doser to the closet. Need longer lines to reach the tank.

Thanks for the response.

I think I have a small piece of the orignal tubing from bm. I'll look for it and measure it for you in a bit

Yeah. I think you got something different.

AddictedtoSalt · Oct 25, 2014

Ok so I just measured the original tube that came with my bm t-01 it's approximately 4.5mm o.d. and 3mm I.d. measured with a digital micrometer.
H.T.H.

Did the home depot tubing work? which did you use? I had the same issue.

Thanks!

Hmm. So I'm guessing 1/8" i.d. Will be too big?

SchnitzelReef · Oct 26, 2014

Just picked up some fuel line from Home Depot. I'll let u know if it works out

SchnitzelReef · Oct 27, 2014

Ok so here is the line I just picked up from Home Depot.

.

1/8" id works perfectly. It was fuel line or something, it's back in the plumbing department where they keep the other tubing/hoses
It's a pretty cool red/orange color too

I just went to petco for airline tubing, is it not the same? I don't have the BM doser though.
