I am in the market for new tubing and I am just curious what everyones opinion on the best tubing is. I have been using the some 1/2" ID 3/4" OD tubing from the hardware store but I am not really happy with and I am looking for an alternative.

You should still use hose clamps - preferably screw/worm clamps ...UBERCOOL said:Looks like I am going with MasterKleer. The fact that it is so cheap yet performs well, and not having to use hose clamps anymore is a big +. Thanks for all your input.
Yes yes yes! Use clamps that is something too simple to neglect! Better to overkill then underkill and fry your system. I have used it and if you put a worm drive clamp on a plastic barb the tubing literally "bonds" to the barb after about a week. I had to cut the tubing off most of my barbs.QuietIce said:You should still use hose clamps - preferably screw/worm clamps ...
