Setup of a Bubbleponics system.

I just purchased a submersible water pump
eBay.ca: Rio 600 Submersible Water Pump - Hydroponics / Aquarium (item 250135610679 end time 22-Aug-07 11:36:08 EDT)

and I have purchased a 8 outlet Manifold

Now when I put these 2 together, my pump doesnt have any parts that fit onto my manifold.

I need pieces that make it fit, once I get this to work I will be able to start on my white widow seeds.

That's a stealth hydroponics 6 outlet Manifold and it shows that it also needs a hose size. But I know they make it work.

How can I make it work?

Thanks

You need a hose adapter? Home depot or any hydro store should sell adapters to connect different size hoses..

cheers

Depends on what size hose you wanna use from your pump. I run 1/2 inch hose from my pumps usually via a 1/2 male with 1/2 hose barb. You can get the 1/2 inch male with 1/2 hose barb at home depot by the toilet/sink parts section.Usually hanging up by the hoses and peatrap fittings

You should research more. Stealth doesn't use that design anymore.
