Thank you. Theres alot of sizes. I tried to find which tubing size I need without any luck. I have the Aqua Medic SP3000 pump:

Any idea what the typical tubing size to go with for this type of pump?

They do not list any size for the hose.
They do say it's Santoprene & on continuous duty should be changed & greased every 3-4 months. I can not say what to use, they are different between manufacturers.
The only sure way is to measure with calipers.

I used standard silicone air line. I think I got it from Amazon. It's been up and running for over a year with no issues.

Do you have a link or description of the tubing you got?

No link, but it was just the normal fish tank air line, but made out of silicone. I think it was made by Tetra, or some other big name producer. A quick search should show it on Amazon. It wasn't anything special.

they probably also have it at Pet Co or Petsmart.
