CO2 Tubing

[Matt L.]

Does anyone know where CO2 tubing is sold locally. I need to place my CO2 tank farther away from my Ca reactor than the tube that came with the reactor will allow,

Matt-- I think the polyethylene tubing sold at home depot for ice makers is what you are looking for. Its kind of a milky color, not clear, a little stiffer. The somerville home depot is open today, and they have some (i just bought the stuff for myself, both 1/4" and 3/8"). If you head over, give me a call :)

Thanks Ryan,

I guess I could use that. My MRC Reactor came with a more rubbery tubing more akin to the airline tubing. When I go get my CO2 cylinders filled this weekend, I wonder if Liberty will have some?

Its possible. I know what you are talking about-- It is another polyesther, but a higher grade...I've seen medical grade but it is $$. I bought this because it is 1.70 for 25', and it works just as well (but isn't that flexible)....

Matt, are you talking about silicone tubing? It's green-colored, rubbery and flexible, it's what I use for CO2 injection in my planted FW tank... IIRC I bought it at Tropic Isle in Framingham, but it was a while back.
