I seem to recall pansy_paws out your way has some in his system. Check with him as to where he got it.

thanks for the keen eye muck, i was really hoping to find some locally and not have to pay $50 for a few feet of it. and scuglass, the reason i want clear is for a co2 reactor for a FW planted tank...so i can monitor how the co2 is disolving.

Just so you know clear PVC isn't actually clear, but has a blue tinge in it. Don't think it would matter in your application though.

thanks again muck...just called there and i think they are the only ones around that do sell it. somewhat cost prohibative for me though at over $100 per 10' length!!

zoiks! so much for an inexpensive DIY project
