Does anyone have a pic of a 2222 setup?

I have read your thread, but I can get it for £25 and thought it may do as a spare.

Exactly what I thought, it has no pipes but comes with new media, I have found some pipe on ebay for £1.50 a metre, I assume a spaybar will be needed aswell.

I have seen that vid I am assuming that he either had long pipes OR had the flow turned down, as its output is higher the the 2213s.

What do you put over the end of the out pipe (intake of the filter) to stop the fish being sucked up?

haha if it doe's not have one then you have problem's..........My fluval 405's cap feel off and it's sucked up a goldfish and as it got stuck it litterally sucked the insides out

look for part's on internet like ebay, if not we shall have to devise a plan, my fx5 has a wonderful pipe cover

Does it not come with the pipes? Surely they are readily available.
