Can you advise me?
Is it prudent to provide for drip loops in the input and especially the output tubing for the V2? The output tubing exits the unit traveling upward and that looks like trouble to me.
Fitting the unit into the cabinet is not going to be easy; a drip loop will make it harder. Just wanted to check my thinking before going to work on it....
Many thanks
Mary Bigelow

Actually, I was thinking of water dribbling down the outside of the tube due to maintence activites up in the tank above

I just use the intake and return parts from AAP for clean connections and never really thought of it that the tubing might get wet from maintenance. www.americanaquariumproducts.com/PlumbingParts.html#return_intake

While water can find its way down the outside of flexible tubing from moisture accumulation or simple messyness when servicing, I doubt adding a drip loop would solve any potential problem. Carl
