Everyone Is Plumbing.
There seems to be a couple of tank builds going on the Reefuge at the moment, I have mentioned that I wanted to improve the plumbing on my tank a bit.
So I decided today shall be the day as I've wanted to do version 3 for a while.
Since Siporax was migrated to my sump a couple of weeks ago there is a bit of congestion in there leaving version 2 with no choice to upgrade as I plan to introduce a fan in the cabinet to enhance further cooling.
A trip to Bunnings here we go.

Bye bye version 2

Need to change out a couple of tubes next weekend as the light purple on the right is showing a bit of polyp necrosis on the shaded parts from a alkalinity spike during the last week.

Try any water filter shop.

It's actually 12mm 1/2 inch
You could put an adapter from 12mm to 20mm if your thread size was 20mm.

For my set up I used 20mm faucet tee which gave me the 12mm thread I used for the JG fitting.
