Secure hold for hoses and tubes in the aquarium:
The filter tubes of external filters need to be securely fixed to the aquarium glass panes so that they cannot accidentally slip out, yet glass bars on the upper aquarium rim can make this more difficult. The JBL FixSet includes 2 spacers of different lengths which will fix the tubes/hoses correctly, even where glass bars pose a potential hinderance to attachment.

Suction cups:
Rubber suction cups age over time. The harder the water (a lot of magnesium and calcium) the faster the rubber hoses and suction cups age. If the suction power decreases or is no longer guaranteed, they definitely need to be replaced.

Do the suction cups and spacers fit on hoses and pipes?

The universal set with suction cup and spacer (JBL FixSet) can be used for both round tubes and aquarium hoses of the appropriate diameter. The holders are available in the sizes 12/16 mm, 16/22 mm and 19/27 mm.

JBL FixSet 16/22 for e1500 and e1,2 Pipework

Sized for 16/22mm hose, this FixSet holds the inlet and outlet pipes of a CristalProfi e1500, e1,2 and similar external filters neatly against the back glass. It comes with suction pads and two depths of spacer clip, about 2cm and 3.5cm from pane to pipe centre, so you can position the lily pipe or spray bar exactly where the circulation needs it rather than letting the hose dictate the angle.

On a larger canister-run tank, good flow placement is what stops debris settling in corners and keeps oxygen moving, which counts for more in our warm 27-29C water where dissolved oxygen sits lower. Firmly anchored pipes also avoid the slow drips and splashes that, in Singapore’s humidity, lead to damp cabinet tops and warped board over time.

Re-seat the pads whenever you service the filter, since suction grip weakens as the cups age. For setup and upkeep, see our canister filter guide and maintenance schedule, and browse more filter accessories.
