I got an email from amazon asking me to review this item... To be fair, I did buy them through amazon and I do review a fair number of things that I buy through amazon... I'm just kind of at a loss for words when reviewing "rubber adapter for ribbed hosing"... I guess it comes down to fact that they worked. I have a fluval 304 and I wanted to reposition the hoses requiring me to cut off the hoses. My old rubber adapters just didn't look right. They had a lot of algae on them that I couldn't clean off and I was worried about developing a leak, so I ordered the new ones. I was initially a bit nervous... I found it hard to believe that just twisting the hose into the adapter would create a water tight seal, but it did. I had it up and running within a half hour of the package coming in, (I had to cut hose... etc.) and so far (knock on wood) no leaks. So, I gave 5 stars to the fluval rubber adapter for ribbed hosing because they did exactly what they were designed to do with a minimum of effort on my part. Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

For those of you looking for black connectors to replace the white connectors that come with the new 06 series of Fluval filters, this is the right product.
I'm not sure whom at Fluval thought changing to the white connectors a good idea, but that person needs to be pistol whipped and fed castor oil.
Buy Fluval Rubber Adapter for Ribbed Hosing, 304, 305, 404, 405 (2 Pieces) Now
Fluval hoses off the shelf have one permanently attached rubber connector at each end. The in-flow and out-flow connectors each have detachable rubber hose adaptors. Works great if all you want is to shorten your hoses and go straight from filter to in-flow/out-flow.
If, however, you are wanting to add something to your hose lines (such as an in-line UV), and you do not want hoses that are horrendously long, then these are the adaptors you need. They fit snuggly over the cut ends of the fluval hoses to make a nice tight seal.
