Chihiros Suodatinletku PRO 9/12 mm (2x 1,5 m)

The hose has a 9 mm internal diameter and a 12 mm external diameter. It is intended for small external filters, nano-aquarium circulation systems and equipment specifically designed for 9/12 mm hose.

Unlike conventional PVC hose, the flexible silicone construction does not become stiff as easily. It is easy to route through compact aquarium cabinets and places less strain on glass pipes and filter connectors.
