After a grueling 3 months of research, I opted to put $18. into "Blue Spotted, 50ft, Deep Jungle Black Flexible Airline Tubing for Aquariums."
Today I come across this article (brief quote below) which blasts the use of black tubing. Lately I'm having root rot issues in 66 degree F nutrient solution so I look forward to your comments.
"......I have tried clear, black and blue airline and can confidently say blue is the best colour. Clear airline lets in light leaks. Black airline gets warm from the lights. This causes black airlines to build up slime and biofilm inside the DWC container that can lead to root rot. Clear airline will work but black is absolutely the worst colour to use."
