Co2 proof tubing why its better than silcone Pic on link
Well I finally got around to taking some pictures of the co2 resistant tubing eveyone has been asking about. I also have a little write up on it for those that are interested.
__________________________________________________ _________ Normal airline tubing can lose up to 20% of [acronym:40f5eef9bc="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:40f5eef9bc] through its membrane. Silicone tubing reacts w/ [acronym:40f5eef9bc="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:40f5eef9bc] and render it less efficient (thus the silicone hardening over time under [acronym:40f5eef9bc="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:40f5eef9bc] usage). Silcone tubing also once hard is not pliable @ all leading to cracks in the tubing. You can buy 6 ft of silicone tubing in most pet stores for 99 cents. Upon first use of silicone tubing it is ver soft, almost to soft. Our special [acronym:40f5eef9bc="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:40f5eef9bc] Resistant Tubing loses less than 1% of [acronym:40f5eef9bc="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:40f5eef9bc]. Also perfect for saltwater use (eg: Kalkreaktor). Rated Class I for both [acronym:40f5eef9bc="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:40f5eef9bc] and saltwater applications. Unlike other so-called [acronym:40f5eef9bc="Carbon dioxide"]CO2[/acronym:40f5eef9bc] Tubing which is rigid, ours is soft and flexible and bendable. Choose between transparent green, transparent blue and black. 4/6mm -[acronym:40f5eef9bc="Identify"]ID[/acronym:40f5eef9bc]/OD. Pics here http://www.fish-forums.com/board/download.php?id=627
