I am building a new setup, and will try dosing. I also do a constant WC, so I need a good amount of 1/4? tubing. I am running it from my Liter Meter, but I don't want to use clear stuff as it builds algae, and I ask want to be able to identify it easily. If you know of any place online I would like to hear it.

TIA Derek

ty, I was looking on there, and didnt see it. Maybe I need to take a better look.

I found it, what type should I get? PVC, poly?

I bought the polyethelyne. Going to use it for ATO, auto water change, dosing, and Kali reactor.

You can also find sellers on ebay letting it go in various colors fairly inexpensively. Here for example, just tell them the color(s) you want.

I like the BULK REEF SUPPLY RO tubing. They use the Murlock brand....and I have noticed that it's a bit stiffer than the regular stuff, with a higher psi rating. For tubing in your RO unit...I would use the BRS.
