Hi looking to replace my fluval 206 pipes anyone got a link for clear or green pipe please seen a few on eBay but rather use what folk have used
 
I use this. I prefer braided, looks a bit more specialist. It's more rigid and doesn't bend/kink as easy as the clear stuff.
 
I found ours in our local hardwarevstore, I've also seen it in camping caravan stores. Cheaper at the hardware I imagine. I think I paid about 1.30 a metre. This is it, ignore the Lillie position I'm experimenting with Co2 and flow but arnt we always:D

Shame it's not on level floor though :D the only thing I will say is clear pipe looks great but you have to keep it clean or it bugs you until you clean it. I think it compliments glassware though.
 
I agree with you Andy, I did buy some cheaper green pipe it lasted no more than 2 mths before I chucked it away it lost its life fast.you can't beat the green ehiem pipe for quality and it lasts yrs. I wouldn't of replaced our green ehiem pipe with anything inferior but so far this clear has been good it stays flexibleish too. Every clean I soak it it hot kettle water with declorinator after bleaching and it's like new again.
 
High big clown were u get ur pipe from please?
The aqua one hose came with the filter, you can buy a pack with 3m of black hose, double taps, spraybar, bends and a few other bits for £20. I cant find the hose on its own but the pack is good value when you consider the cost of eheim taps and the quality is very similar

The link is for 12/16 but they do a 16/22 pack too, look for the pack that fits the aquis1250 for 16/22 pipe. Eheim pipe can be bought at most lfs or ebay
