Vinyl Tubing

PVC braided vinyl tube vs. Clear braided PVC tubing
Looks like 2 of the same thing to me. The second one does appear to be *better* reinforced than the other, less likely of kinking. Am I missing something? Sometimes my logic is faulty, so I thought I'd check with the experts before I used it for my return.
Thanks.

You are correct.. the braided tubing won't kink. Its why I like using it over the normal stuff.

Something to think about is all flexible PVC releases phthalates over time which can play havoc with behavior and asexualism in inverts especially in smaller systems. Just my .02

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
