So, I am getting my sump set up in the garage, and I have managed to lose an O-ring that goes between the two housings on my Turbo Twist 12x. I am trying to figure out what size I need to replace it with, but can't find the info anywhere. Anybody have any idea?
Coralife Turbotwist 12x 36w O-Ring Size?

Isn't there one on the other end to measure?
Sadly, no... The far side tapers down quickly to a much smaller O-Ring that surrounds the clear plastic "light indicator" window. I have found the manual online, which says that the O-Rings (mm) are 16/22 and 16/28, but doesn't specify what the dimensions pertain to. Looking at the housing, there's no way that the missing O-Ring is anything more than a standard-thickness ring, unless it's more like a rubber band shape than a regular ring.
I also found a package of replacement rings online, that are sold out, which makes them all look like a standard round O-Ring. Of course, the package doesn't mention sizes... :mad2:

i would take the turbo twist to the hardware store and talk to someone about finding an o-ring to fit. should cost you a couple bucks max,
Its a little cheaper here @ 7.99 for the gasket set.
You're right, that would be the easiest solution. Sadly, it's plumbed in in such a way that it can be broken down to be maintained, but not removed. I'll keep looking around, it's gotta be on the interwebs somewhere. Thanks for trying to help, though, I really do appreciate it!
