Where can I buy black flexible tubing?

[agent6473]

Hey,
Anyone know of a place around Boston area maybe within 30 minutes or so (I'm in Newton) that sells 3/4" ID black tubing? Let me know, I'd like to get this plumbing done today

Thanks
Chris

Home Depot sells it.

Are you looking for black flexible tubing or black flexible pvc?

Tubing, its for connecting a mag 7, SCWD, etc

Home Depot may have it, Lovely Pets in Quincy has it.

Advice for you is that if this tubing is going to see light, it will grow algae inside of it. Get some black electrical tape and tape it up, your SCWD will last a lot longer.

Why would you need the tape on black tubing?

The black tubing is a clear black, if that makes sense. At least, that's the black tubing I thought he was talking about.

The stuff at home depot is blacker than black. Not clear black. And I used it on my SCWD.

The only black tubing I could find at HD was the pond tubing and it has ridges around it to allow for easy bending. But I gotta tell ya, when I replaced the hosing on my tank a month ago, I had huge blisters on my hand trying to get it on the PVC. Even with using a hair dryer to soften it up, it's a real PIA to get it on. Works like a charm though......
