I read that I need to use a CO2 safe tubing. Can I use the silicone ones? Any particular brands?

might be a little more then your asking for but this is a great site for how well tubing stands up to co2 and other things.

oh and i wouldnt use silicone tubing since it can gas off co2 and break down.
