Thanks guy, i picked up the some tubing at Rona ($50) for 8 feet 1'' and 1 1/2 ''.
But i am having a problem to make it to route around the back of my current tank in the corner because it is so freaking hard to bend. Wonder if Rona take these back. I will check out Western Pump on Monday because they are closed on weekend. :-( Thanks again

If you think that stuff is hard to bend, SPA Flex will be harder to bend! Don't get me wrong, it does bend, but in tight quarters it isn't going to do 90 degrees easily. You probably got that clear vinyl stuff? Ya, that's not easy to bend. What I find helps with that stuff is to heat it up, then bend it. Once it gets into a position it tends to stay there though :-)
I think what you really want is that black ribbed tubing. It can bend virtually 180 degrees quit easily! Check it out at Pisces or Big Al's this weekend. Not sure if BAs has any but I did see them at Pisces. Oh and western pump doesn't carry that black ribbed stuff. Last time I was there they just had SPA flex, which again is probably too stiff for what you're looking for. Good luck.

The black ribbed tubing works perfectly. Got everything hooked up last night but got a little bit leaking on one of the PCV joint. Already applied PVC cement on it and will fire it up against tonight.
Will post some picts one it is fully set up. I should have picked up this tubing from beginning instead of wasting so much money on vinyl tubing and adapters. Cheers
