Need to find clear tubing -sold by the foot-
 
Hey gang, I am seeking some supreme info from all you calgary reefers. I am looking to buy some clear tubing (like pvc, or vinyl clear tube, whatevers cheapest). I know I can buy it in pre-cut lengths at HD or Canadian Tire, but I only need like a foot or two. I am wondering if anyone knows a place I can buy it by the foot for cheap. I used to get it at Home Hardware when I lived out of the city but the only HH in the city is far from me and really small so I doubt they have it.....anyone got any info on this topic.....THANKS ALL!!

Don't recall 100% but I think Big Als caries tubing that you can buy per foot.

and maybe rona got it.
call and check before driving.

Out of curiousity... Why clear? If your plumbing a reactor or something your better off with black. Clear will promote algae growth inside the tube and require more maintenance.

Yes they do. It's not cheap with them though. Better off to buy the pre-cut length from home depot.

I paid $8 for I think 10'. I think BA wants $1.99/ft for 1/2" (fits TLF reactor).

Just buy the long one and have extra for the future :mrgreen:

Home Depot will also cut a foot of tubing off for you.

Farm supply stores like UFA have it by the foot.

I need clear because I am using it for a skimmer mod and I need to be able to see the bubble flow. Anyway thanks for the tips.
Hey Pyke, where is the lowes in town, I did not think that we had one yet. I love lowes it is way better than HD......where is it?
