    The tubing that came with my GFO reactor is a pain to route and I'm looking for something more flexable that will not wipe out my tank.

    Not sure what FEP is,but clear vinyl tubing is safe and flexible

    FEP is what Dupont calls Teflon FEP. This would be perfect to use for salt water as it compatible with almost all chemicals. Go for it :)

    Thanks! The vinyl tubing I saw wasn't compatable with the push-lock fittings and might wind up being a 20 gallon oops on my floor. The FEP seemed ok but wasn't sure.
