You know that tiny piece that attaches to the top of the smartbox filter that the tubing from the domes attaches to? Well, I lost it on a trip this weekend. I can't figure out how to use the smartbox now, since I can't get the end of the tubing to fit over the filter top. Also, trigger mentioned using the noogleberry pump with the brava to get a better airlock. I ordered the pump, but now can't fit the tubing over the little nozzle on the pump.
Does anyone have any ideas for a replacement part? I am now limited to using my suction, only, and I was using the smartbox as backup at night so I wouldn't lose suction without realizing it.
I doubt Brava is going to send me that tiny little piece. If they did, it would probably cost $20!!!!!

I'm pretty sure (now that you've got the tube on!), that you'll find you get great suction with the pump, and don't lose any of it during the night. I haven't lost suction once yet, using it.

I doubt this will help but when I first started using the system I didn't use the piece because I didn't know it exsisted. I was however surprized on how hard it was to attach the tuping on the filter but I did it for a week until I found it attached to another filter in the box. So it is possible not to use it.
