I'm looking for the same kind of tubing that Python uses. I need like 75 feet to do water changes. I'm pretty sure Python only makes 25 or 50 feet. I would like to find something less expensive also. Anyone have any recommendations. Thanks

Almost any kind of tubing would do fine if it attaches to your pump

I’ve used this (100ft linked)


Just confirmed. Python tubing is 1/2” ID so the link I gave is compatible. Plus it’s only 30$ for 100’

You could buy the 25’ python for $44 and the 100’ tubing from my link for 30$ and end up with a full 100’ setup for $75

The 75’ python kit is 100$ and the 100’ kit is $108

If you liked that type of tube, just get what you need and connect them together.
Sometimes getting the right ( or what works for you) equipment can cost, but if it's what you are looking for, it's worth it.

ACE Hardware, BTW, I have dipped the Vinyl tubing in Boiling Water, used a round tool to stretch it, then placed the end over another tube, to attach them together. This is for low Pressure. BTW, I couldn’t pull the tubes apart after. No restrictions from a Barb Fitting.

Thank you I appreciate you looking that up.

I use a mag 7 pond pump (with the 15 foot cord, very handy) barb fitting, and the cheapest grey hose from Home Depot with the ends cut off. Dont over think it.
