HEY Karren.. ok.. so your suggestion worked awesome!
Now all i need are these connector pieces (see attached pic) so that i can affix the tubing to the BB system.. since the nipples on the cup and on the machine are a slightly larger size than the tubing and the attachments available at the aquarium supply. It needs to be a sleeve rather than an adapter, because it has to go on the outside of the the tubing and get fit a wider nipple rather than a narrower one.
I'm not sure what this piece would be called or where to find it. My google searches (pvc/plastic/adapter/fitting/sleeve) haven't turned anything up. Do you have any suggestions for what its technical name would be or what sort of store to look in?
Right now i'm just using little pieces of a larger tube (cut from old noogleberry tubing) ... but they don't fit very tight and slide off easily.. i could rubber cement them i guess.. but then you can no longer disassemble the system..
But YAAAAAYYYYY on making this little machine work for me! Pressure problem almost perfectly solved!!!
Thanks again <3
