16mm is close to half inch 9mm close to quarter inch. You would have to get small lenght of 16mm tubing to run from fitting to 16mm side of filter

Yes that would work with 16mm - 9mm hose line I'd also need something 16mm/1/2" from the reservoir to the adapter. If I could come out of my res with a 16mm top hat grommet to the filter with a 1/2" / 16mm line I could use that adapter to connect the 9mm line

I made up another order from indoorfarmer. I ordered a 16mm filter, some 16mm hose, a 16mm top hat grommet,16mm shut off valve 3 more air bases, more Grove bags & humidity pack & what ever else to get a $125 free shipping order

That will do it. will still need to reduce 16mm to 9mm coming off filter to hook up feed lines. A minor detail

I would still like the golf filter as the first filter inline but they don't seem to make them for 16mm/1/2" line. I can probably build up the 9mm line with tape then hose clamp or tie wrap it tight but I'd rather have one that fits properly, sometimes my fixes fail and cause leaks.

My new Mars light is supposed to arrive today, It was supposed to arrive yesterday, Fedex tracking had in on the truck out for delivery, another company, Dragonfly notified me today they had it on the truck and it will arrive today.

I have the Spiderfarmer Glow 40's but after looking on the Canadian web sites they are sold out., I also bought 3 of these far red pucks from Rapid Led, 1 puck covers a 3x3, I bought 3 for my 5x5. If you order from Rapid get the power supply and lens offered for them at $5 it gives better coverage with the lens onView attachment 89156

Do u like the glows better or are the pucks just as good? What would you suggest for a 5x5? I understand u r still experimenting, but that's way further than where I'm at

Zip ties or pipe clamps work best if you find a pipe to insert in the hose to prevent collapse.
They don't have to fit perfect you can wrap it with tape or a piece of cut hose.

The glows are a bit better for size of coverage. I used 3 pucks in my 5x5 & I still needed another puck before I bought the Glow 40's. I'm still using 1 puck + the glow40's in my 5x5 but I'm only using my tent as a 4x5 for coverage. the front foot has my heater and humidifier.SF had Glow 80's but I'm not seeing any of the reds available from them in Canada now. Rapid Led has some interesting lights. If you wanted to build a light they have a lot of options to choose from.I've been looking at their Royal Blue puck for veg to play with but unsure of what I'd get from them

Yes, I have some pipe the just might fit. I didn't think of that, nice tip, thanks. It may help me with another connection I have hose pipe - hose pipe, jammed in together with tape holding it poorly.I have pipe, I keep busting the small hose clamps by turning them just 1 more time to tighten & sprong fk, they just don't work well after that.

Im pretty sure i have some of those fittings to join hoses if you cant find any let me no. The same size as picture half inch to quarter inch.

Shrink wrap might help if the tube can take it or be protected until done. Glue type if water proof is a worry.

I need to get my parts and figure it out. I also probably need to drill another hole in my reservoir to fit the 1/2" top hat grommet. Re-drilling an existing hole can make the hole sloppy.

Plug old hole with these

MECCANIXITY Silicone Rubber Hole Plug on amazon. I used these on two grow trays that had drilled holes no leakage for me.​

awesome I was just going to leave the golf filter and short hose to a shut off valve but they are an iffy connection as is, I get weeping at the top hat and outside the tank if I shuffle the tank around. I went and pulled on the line to snug the golf filter into the hole and pulled too hard, popped off the line and hat my nutes pouring out the bottom after a fresh refill. Got wet but I was able to capture most of it in my 10 gal wine making pot & had to wait until it drained to fixer up....lol...don't pull on that line, make sure its tight before adding water...fk...got it..lol

yay, they be comin!

what did the mfg recommend for the UV, no more than 3 hours max..?
maybe do like something around 10 cycles of 18-20 minutes during the lights on, right?


discount for 8% is SF8 i think

Hey, those aren't the Far red lights if that's what your looking for. Mars is the only one I've seen that still has the far red.

I was looking at the UV too but I'm on the edge of power consumption in my tents now, I'm a bit afraid of any more watts blowing fuses, even just another 50w could do it.
