I just saw this weekend a brand new MCP655 vario at Microcenter in Atlanta for $70. I wouldn't buy a pump with that amount of use for $45. The impeller chamber is easy enough to clean out.

No biocide equals potential problems and another "I have green stuff or whatever growing in my loop".
One or two drops of $4 fish aquarium algaecide with a few drops of povidone-iodine equals absolutely no problems.

See the part number (5233K44)? Go to www.mcmaster.com and put that in the product search box to the left.
Edit: Holy damn, the prices are high on this stuff now. It's not any Tygon, but it's at $.44/ft! When I got my 20ft of MasterKleer 7/16", it was at $.28/ft.

I haven't ordered tubing from Mcmaster in a while as I bought a bunch a while back and just now saw that 25 foot min on the 7/16" Masterkleer. That stinks. You can get it from Petras for 49c a foot. http://www.petrastechshop.com/7id5odmagepu.html

25ft was minimum order when I ordered 20ft of it a while back, they still sent it to me and charged me for only 20ft.

I ended up buying the
Tygon R-3400 7/16" ID 9/16" OD
Will it be hard to fit over the 1/2'' barbs???
since its black, should i do a clear T-line, or just a micro res....?
Could any of you guys with the black tubing send me a pic of your rig? I wanna see what it looks like installed.

It's not too hard to slip over the barbs. As for the pics, I will have to take a few tomorrow and post them for you as my wife is sleeping right now and I would have to rummage around for the digicam and disturb her.

You'll need hot water to get it over the MCP655 barbs but other than that it should work out fine.
Looking forward to finished pics ...!

Here's a pic of my watercooled rig. You will have to excuse the wiring as it's kind of sloppy right now. I had some problems with the ATX connector not making contact in the socket well and the rig shutting down randomly. I think I have it sorted out now though.

Yeah, I use a home made res that I built out of a weatherproof PVC electrical box and brass piping. You can see it to the right of my Eheim pump and you can see the brass return line that feeds back into the reservoir. Unless you have a very big case like this Antec SX1200 series, you probably wouldn't want to build one like mine as it takes up 3 bay slots.
