I see these drip tubes in pictures and videos, running along the top of verticals but I can't seem to find them locally in NY state and since I've never seen them up close, I'm afraid to order them online.

I have space on my basement wall to hang verticals and they can drain into my fish tank but I need to learn more about the tubing and drip tubes that run along the top of them...any insight, related sites, posts, blogs, websites would be greatly appreciated.

If you are talking about the irrigation tubes(4mm), be careful running them straight from the fish tank(I.e before the grow bed/tubes.) I did that and they clogged up pretty fast. I replaced them all with a 6mm clear tubing(air tubing) covered in duct tape to keep out the light and they are now working a treat.

I just drilled a hole smaller than the tube and it sealed nicely.
