Aquaclears....sometimes you hate 'em, sometimes you don't.

So I was cleaning my tank today and while taking the intake tube of the 70 off to scrub, the u-tube nub (controls the flow control) snaps right off. :madrant

Then I took a wooden dowel in my art drawer and stuck it into the hole that was created after the piece went flying. PERFECT FIT!

I slapped some crappy hot-glue work on the seams afterwards and its back on the job.

Lesson: The AC baby's are tough!

Lets hope that the filter doesn't break down again before my DIY job does.

Good job on the Do-It-Yourself repair!!! Just in case it didn't work you can buy replace tubes for the Aquaclears! I have bought extra pieces to extend my tubes further down!

How the heck did you do that...

Great work you did. AND, Thanks for the reminder to be careful while cleaning tank accessories/products.
