Hello everyone,
I'm new here so please be nice :) I am just so confused where I can find some good plastic tubing. I dislike plastic but when I have to use it, I want it to be the good stuff, HDPE, polyethylene (unless someone has better suggestions). I only need about 10 ft, 1/2 inch. I live in the U.S. I've been scowering hardware stores and no one seems to have what I want. I'd rather just pick it up at a store if I can as I'm trying to complete a startup system. Everyone here is such a great resource I'd really appreciate some guidance. Thank you so very much in advance!

PVC is fish safe, listed for potable water, and easy to use.

If you do some digging on PVC, you'll see that most of the cautionary information about it is technically true but will never occur in the home. The hazardous and non-sustainable elements are in the production and in recycling/destroying it, but it's very very safe if you don't microwave or burn it :thumbright: .
