With excess tubing, you can re-do your layout without ordering more from some distributor.

Re-using tubing has a greater chance of leaking because it's already stretched out and thus has an inferior seal with the barbed fittings.
Ok thanks mate, was thinking of ordering 10 foot of tubing, now you made me finalise it!

I'll be buying the parts soonish, but not all at once, saving and spending so I don't cut myself short you see! Thanks for all the help mate, you have been really supportive and suggestive! I've learned quite a small chunk with my little time here on this thread hehe! As for the rig when it all arrives, like I said at an earlier date, I'll leak-test the system for 1 solid week to check for growths and leaks

Hope to be seeing you once it's all installed lol!
