    Broken Fitting

    I have a brand new (sat in the box for a year) DOS and was doing a dry fit to make sure everything works before tucking away my tubing. Just my luck I knocked it off a shelf and it fell about a foot and a half. Must have landed on the grey plastic fitting. Do they sell replacement parts? I tried glue, but it leaked. Any suggestions on a good plastic glue that won't Leach nasties into the water?

    My suggestion is to buy a new replacement head.

    You can buy replacement pump heads online. Check your favorite online aquarium supply - BRS, Marine Depot, etc.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    They are only $30 dollars but I see where people have replaced the fittings with quick connect style. I think I am going to try to replace the little grey piece since it sounds like it is prone to leak. Anybody got any creative DIY upgrades.

    take the grey part out of the hose and find a nice plastic tube that fits inside de hose and a ty-rap around it on both sides to held it in place
