I'm in the process of getting a shopping list together for CO2 and was wondering what tubing you all use?
I have a bunch of black silicone tubing I'd like to use from Top Fin but I read that silicone is somewhat permeable to CO2, is that true? I also read that Tygon tubing is best, but its not cheap (from what I see on ebay). Lastly, when I search CO2 proof tubing on ebay, I get one that's reasonably priced that claims to be CO2 proof that's made of clear PVC. Now is that any better than silicone?
I'm a bit confused as to what's best and reasonably priced for a CO2 application.. Please help.
