Just because he uses doesn't mean he knows how tubings are measured so stop acting like a pro and sassing the poor guy. You didn't even answer his question

@tmj: Tt's WC set uses 1/4" inner diameter tubings. So just need the appropriate fittings from any hardware shop paired with a slightly better pump. I'd recommend Nirox P2800 which should be good enough for your system

for fittings is easy to find tongue.gif erm... Nirox P2800 prices is how much and where can i get it? if 1/4" hose go into 1/2" pump then go out with 1/4" is ok or not?

tmj, the TT bigwater isnt really the best WC kit out there, if you wanna improve performance there are a couple of things you can do;

- change to larger diameter piping
- change the pump
- change to a better waterblock

if course changing the pump only increases the amount of water pumped through the water block but it has its limits. quoting from other reviews on the net, the TT big water performs about the same as a good air hsf.

for nirox, there someone selling it in the garage sale...there is also a fish shop in kinrara that sells it...its better to have standard diameter tubings and brass fittings...else the water flow will be bottle necked.
