Tube Sizing With Hydor External Heater

[JasonOB]

Hi everyone

Been looking at getting one of the all pond solutions external filter off eBay for 60 notes and attach it to an external Hydor heater for my living room tank... Problem is the tubing on the filter has an internal diameter of 15mm whilst the heater is made for 16mm...

Can anyone foresee any problems if stretch the tubing? Last thing I want is a ruined front room from one of my special 'sticky back plastic jobs'

Thanks in advance

Your filter pipes will fit the heater fine, if you struggle just dip the end of the filter tubing in a cup of hot water and it will be nice and easy to push over the fitting on the heater.
