You can get those hard type of tubings or tubings suitable for CO2 from Nature Aquarium or Bioplast (systems and control engineering).
What kind of tubing should I get for my CO2 cylinder?
It was mentioned in the forum that certain types of tubing are not suitable for CO2 use because of possible leakage. So far, in the shops I only see the common transparent tubing and the other very rubbery, green type. How to tell if they are suitable or not...do they cost more...

I'm using a tube meant for pneumatics which is black in colour. I find this tube very CO2 proof. Dun ask me abt the cost cos it was leftovers from my workshop of my previous company.

That Fish & Pet Place sells the pneumatic tube but it's transparent in color. Not black or green.

the pneumatic tubing should be called polyurethane tubing.
and comes in a variety of sizes and colours.
and is quite stiff.

I see, thanks...so if I go to the fish shop and tell the auntie I want a "pneumatic" or "polyeurythene" tubing will she know straight away or will she go " [:0] "

you'll need to know the outer diameter of the tube that fits into your co2 regulator and accessories. since it is stiff, you won't make a mistake of getting the wrong type. but you may need some customisation to fit it into you diffuser/reactor.

If not sure, just touch the tubing. If it's soft, don't get it. The ones I mention are harder than the normal tubing. It's just that the lfs owner got it in transparent from other source outside of the aquarium industry. He told me some of his customer don't go for the green color.

what if use those green rubbery tube meant for airpump for diy co2 injection. Nothing happen leh coz i using it.
when used for diy co2, no problem.
diy co2 don't generate high pressure.
however, there are concerns of co2 loss through diffusion. maybe a small percentage loss.
