Clear Vinyl tubing for the filter.

[Cuber]

Hello,

I am just wondering if clear vinyl tubing from the hardware store is safe for planted tanks? I plan to use it on my fluval 406 to go to the lily pipes.

Thanks!

Yes safe (sure you mean vinyl ? not PVC). Cheaper stuff does harden due to light exposure after a year or two.

Ebay has plenty of PVC tube that is relatively light safe.
