Trying to find 3/4" quality clear vinyl tubing for my water changes. Need around a 65-70' run. Ordered a 100' spool off Amazon, but the walls are thin and it kinks very easily.
FWIW - I used to use the clear vinyl, but then switched to a garden hose with both ends cut off, without encountering any ill effects. A hose reel makes storage easy.

If you choose to go with the vinyl, if you take a heat gun to it, it really goes a long way to getting the tubing to lose its "memory". A real PITA, but it really does help to keep it from kinking, and make longer lengths easier to handle.

I tried the clear tubing and got tired of the kinks. I switched to garden hose. 1/2" CPVC pipe fits in it perfectly and you can weld it with cpvc glue. Didn't try pvc but I'm sure it would work with the cpvc/pvc solvent. Been using this for the last 3 years and it's perfect. Just cut the ends off...
