Hello!
I am having a bit of a problem, i have a PVC pipe end (not sure what its called, but its on the top left of the below image...note: i did not take out this pic, just found it on the web)
and i need to pass this hose (again, not my pic but am using the identical hose) Attachment.jpg picture by Muleous - Photobucket
through it and make sure it "sticks" to the pvc as well as fill in the gaps (so effectivally there is a pipe within a pipe) that i will be putting in an aquarium, hopefully these two pics should give you a better idea:
and pic 2
i have tried using aquarium silicone to hold this together, but the silicone kind of peels off at the slightest pressure, and its not keeping a watertight seal above.
The aquarium came to me with the PVC already attached in this way with a hole in the bottom and its watertight, the only problem is getting this new hose to be in place and watertight on top.
Please advise, and please note i am in now way a professional in this stuff, although i like working with my hands I am very new to this so please explain any "professional terms".
To my credit, I did open up the whole tank and reglue it without any help, so am not totally useless no matter what my ex girlfriends might tell you
Thanks in advance!
