I want to replace the crinkled tubes of a tom's mini canister to something longer. I find that the included tubes are too short, and too rigid to for placement. What size are the tubes, and does anywhere sell it? I tried looking at the online petstores (Dr fosters, Big Als, etc) for replacement tubing, but since I'm not 100% of the internal and external size of the tubing, I don't know what to get. Any one know, or has replaced the tubing on the toms mini canister?

I used 1/2" O.D. X 3/8 I.D. clear vinyl tubing that I picked up at Lowe's. This tubing fits on the input and output, and you can tighten the nuts. I don't have the spraybar or the inlet, so I don't know if the same tubing will fit on them. This tubing is not super flexible either, so you would need fittings to make sharp bends in the tubing.
I hope this helps.

As stated a 3/8th inch internal dia should do it.

Here is where I bought mine being food safe means I knew for sure it was aquarium safe.... Tubing

The tubing from Lowe's is food/water safe as well, and it was only $3.68 plus tax for 10 feet. The Tygon tubing is better quality though.
