Hose Question

[the_bandit]

Ive seen a couple tank threads like Cranberry's 100g tank and I see that when they were working on their plumbing, they were using a black type of hosing that looked alot better and more plyable than the stif stuff I have now. Its a black rubbery looking hose. Ill attach their tank for example. Im running to Lowes tomorrow. Think I will be able to get it there?

Its just black vinyl tubing just like the clear. Home depot carries it not sure about lowes.

Lee's pond hose is the soft stuff. It's available in black, but it's not very easy to find.
The black stuff from Home Depot is what I use. If you put it in the oven at about 150-175 degrees for a few minutes, it softens up really nice and allows you to to make harder bends. Once it cools, those bends tend to "stick" so it makes for a much better plumbing job.
