    Does anybody know if the hose I can find at a hardware store is safe enough for an aquarium?

    I have purchased my hose from both the hardware store and LFS. No problems here.

    I got mine from Lowes or Home Depot. Its the same stuff at stores. But they have diff lines there. Some lines are for reg water and some for cold water and diff things. Some of them will put a taste in your water. Be sure of what you want before you go.
