Default Help with Repti Flo 250

Hello I am new to this site, I have been looking around and I thought it would be worth joining. I am currently working on a ten gallon tank for a pair of arrow's. I bought a Repti Flo 250 from Petco to be used to make a waterfall. But I cannot find the correct tubing I have been to 4 stores looking for it. Does anybody have one or know where to get the tubing and the correct size. This is realy slowing my production down I havnt been able to work on it in a week because this is the final step in the backgroud building.

hardware stores, home depot, plumbing + maybe pool supply warehouses... use the clear or black flexible hoses, but boil water and stick the end in the water and quickly work it on while it's still hot... if it almost fits it's perfect... once heated and let cool in place it will be almost impossible to remove so you should eventually need a hose cleaner thingy that looks like a pipe cleaner... but not for a good while!

make sure to keep the pump nearby when looking for hose... makes things much easier!

beck, I love you, lol... That's something I didn't think of, heating the hose to make it fit on the outlet... Just the piece of info I needed to hear for the rain system I'm going to rig up for the frogs (none of my tubing is the right size, but it ALMOST is).
