    Checking to see what folks use for returns into their tanks from a sump/refugium? I often see these dual heads that appear to be adjustable and have 2-3 round sections with a flat tip on the end. Can these be purchased separately, or are they something that came with your pumps? I currently have 3/4" PVC as a return with just the white PVC running directly into the water.

    You could buy a kit for that at your LFS.

    3/4" LocLine. You can find it at any good LFS either local or online or through the distributor www.modularhose.com .

    Here are a few pics of Loc Line on my return out of the overflow box and as used for my closed loop returns at each end of the tank.

    I wonder if they have these parts at Lowe's?

    2.5" Flare Nozzels
    6" loc-line adjustable extensions
    3/4" MPT threaded input

    Hmm, let's see. Home Depot, Lowe's, Care A Lot, Petco, PetSmart, Pet World, Petland. Anyone confirm Loc-Line being sold at any of these listed?

    Might get lucky at one of the pet stores but honestly ebay or the link AZDesertRat post will be the best bet.
