I want to replumb my mini canister filter. it uses tubing similar to the eheim 12/16mm tubing... but I'd like to hard plumb most of it, with a flexible coupling to the filter... having a hard time finding parts to do what I want. everything is bigger than I need for my 10 gallon, from the fancy lily pipes right down to the home depot pvc options. where can I find small parts?

Have you looked at the parts for the appliances? Like the connections for ice makers or dishwashers?

You can get absolutely anything from www.plumbingsupply.com, and their customer service is awesome. Only thing is, the S&H can be steep on small orders.

I got all the parts for my 135 and constant water change system from them: bulkheads, barbed adapters, needle valve, barrel taps, and a busload of PVC fittings.
