rigid airline tubing?

[mjlewis]

I know this is a simple question, but yet again I'm stuck. I tried Jack's, Lowe's, HD, but no one seems to have 1/4" rigid airline tubing. I was just at Savko and I don't think they have any either. I called AA (won't have any until Friday at the earliest), Petco, Petland, etc. I can wait until Friday but was hoping to get this ATO in place tonight or tomorrow.

Any ideas on where this might be available in town? All I need is like 2 ft.

Thanks.

Seatide In lancaster usually has some. Also hobby stores usually do also I would just use some 1/4 water line like you use on your rodi

is there a difference in rigid airline tubing and ice maker water line?

if you can use the same stuff you use for rodi i have a bunch of blue you can get a couple feet.

I use the ice maker lines myself. I guess I didn't realize there is a difference (if there is one). Granted lines come in all types of material, but assumed that would work.

jacks does carry it, they usually have it on the bottom shelf next to the undergravel filters. it is with the 1" rigid clear pipe for undergravel filters also. they should all have it, if not in know the one in easton does

I get it at Jacks at Graceland. They've had it for years.

Thanks for all the ideas. I actually called Jack's in Hilliard last night, and they only had 3/16" rigid tubing. Apparently, I wasn't smart enough to realize that that was exactly what I needed. Anyway, I stopped by tonight and picked up what I needed.

I'm using the rigid airline tubing for my DIY ATO. When I used flexible airline tubing, it just floated and I couldn't straighten it out enough to keep it submerged in the water in the reserve container. I didn't try RODI tubing. Maybe that would have worked. The other tubing they had at Lowe's and HD was flexible and I couldn't figure out how to work the coils out of the tubing to make it usable for what I needed. So, rigid tubing will do the trick for me.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
