Having a great deal of trouble getting everything to fit together properly at the mo! ???
To start with I was using the airlock connectors, one just in front of each cup so I could pump & then disconnect the pump. This worked very well apart from the great long sticky-out tubes that got in the way. So I decided to get some elbow connectors to angle the tubes downwards out of the way, when they arrived they were too small for the NB sized tubing but looked the right size for standard aquarium tubing which I popped out & got some to try after reading others success using it.
I must have tried for about an hour to get the smaller tubing over the ends of the NB cups using heat, wetting the nozzle of the cups etc..........but it's not working! For the record, it's 6mm diameter & 4mm internal diameter blue silicone tubing.
maybe the tubing that Lucy is trialling is different somehow? if so i'll give that a go!
If ANYONE has any ideas, thoughts or suggestions here please, please let me know (before i throw it out of my window!!) ;D
