Re: silicone airline

[George Slusarczuk <yurko at warwick_net>]

Hello Tim,

Some time ago I bought a reel of 500 ft (150 m) of silicone air line and
use it almost exclusively for air supply from the air valve to
individual sponge filters. In water it hardens with time but, it seems,
not as much as regular vinyl air line. It is also not as strong as
vinyl.

In bs hatchers (inverted 2 L plastic bottles) I use thin glass tubing
for the stiff part. It is very easy to clean but, being glass, one has
to be carefull with it.

Best,

George
