Skimmer air intake tubing - where to buy?

[pbjelly]

I'm trying to figure out where to get replacement tubing for the air intake on my eshopps skimmer. Anybody know what this kind of tubing is called and what size it is?

Lowes or Home Depot sell it by foot. Its much cheaper than original tube and works the same.

Do you know what it's called and/or what diameter it is?

I believe it's called "ice maker tubing". If you're even in NNJ, I have a bunch.

Thanks for the info and the offer - I'm in Bklyn, so I'll head over to the local 'Evil Empire' and try to find some.

good luck! If you don't find, LMK and I'll drop some in the mail.

I have some but won't be back in BK until after new years if you still need. I bet David at Bath Ave (Regal) Aquariums carries it or pretty much any LFS store. Its just airline tubing.
