Anyone know a place that sells Silicone Tubing in black so it doesnt grow that algae etc inside the tube so easily? Or even slightly see through black?

I want to use it for my syphon system for water changes so I need the bigger 3/4in ID hose but the stuff I am using now is clear ish and it gets a build up inside that looks....gross? Maybe its nothing to worry about....

Menards has black silicone tubing. I used it for my return before I went hard plumbed.

Ya I have some of that Vinyl tubing right now. Its substantially stiffer then silicone tubing. Its super floppy and easy to kink.
