I was just looking at my aquarium trying to figure out how I could make things look better and I guess I just realized how STUPID the air lines look. Lets see, in most setups the filter intake(s) will be black or clear and the heater(s) will be the same. Yet when it comes to silicone air line it's some bright blue or green color! In my tank I have black sand and a black background which is great for making the fish stand out, but it obviously highlights the air line as well.

IMO black tubing would blend in much better than blue, green or even clear in most cases.


OK, I'm done ranting. Does anyone make black tubing?

I was in Lowes earlier today and looked at their tubing selection in the plumbing department. They have several sizes of black vinyl tubing. None of the ones I looked at had any writing on them.
