Pneumatic tubing is probably more suitable to the task. My aquarium
tubing is too flimsy. Pneumatic tubing is much stiffer and can be
bought in colors and quantity for not too much money. It is generally made
of nylon to resist the oils used in some systems. The question is
where to get it?
Two major manufacturer of pneumatic controls are Festo and Aro (sp?). If
you look up in the commercial section of the Yellow pages or their web
sites you maight get a local distributor.
Hope this helps....
