  • Rena XP-1 Outflow Regulator

    I bought a used XP1 today that came without the out flow regulator. Is there a way i could slow down the outflow. Could I just use a regular ball valve from home depot to control the flow or should i get the actual one from PlanetRena.com.
    The out flow regulator looks like this

    Thanks

    Does it not have one with it?

    I have some spares cause I didn't use the crap hardware that came with the filter so it's yours for the taking if you want it. Also be careful with the "stackable" intake tube cause those things tend to fall apart and there goes your fish.

        If you wanna pick it up at my workplace you can but during the day I sleep so you would have to find your way to my house and probably get it out of the mailbox or front porch.

            I am not exactly sure yet.....seeing as though I barely made it today to the NASH plant swap.

            Hey are you a member of the HLA club as well? or board member?

              I am actually a board member of HLA. But i don't have any live bearers and haven't been actively participating as all their events always clash with some  or the other personal things.

                    I would need something that would work in extremely low light.  I have a tank with some Black Calvus and a few Gold Compressiceps in it that might work with some plants.  The only other tank options I have house Peacocks and I've heard that reak havoc on plants.  Let me know what ya got.

                      I have about 3 Java Fern plantlets with 3/4 leaves and Golf ball size maybe slightly larger clump of X,mas moss. Both should grow well in low light. let me know what you think.

                            I have like two for free so you can use the moss and stuff for the sparklings....you could use the filter without it for the time being and just stuff it full of filter floss to slow down the speed some till then.

                              Yeah i wish you were closer to me man. Thanks a lot for the offer. I really appreciate it. Lets see what Hanson77 says. I already have the X'mas moss in my other two tanks and would still keep a small portion for me.
