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

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

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

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?

If you know where princess auto is, they sell it by the foot. It's the cheapest place I have seen. Its 39 cents per foot for 1/2 inch diameter
