Eheim 2026 uses 16/22 mm hose.
I don't like the color and quality of this hose.
I there anything on market that I can easily replace this tubes with?
Thanks,
Aram.

eheim uses a weird metric european tube size.. there is a standard size that will fit.. you might have to run the end of the tubing under hot water to heat it up and shove it on the fittings thou.. ive def used regular sized lowes hosing thou on eheim stuff.. just bring in whatever you are trying to put it on into the store.. ive also used standard sized barbs from the hardware store on eheim tubing

you also could use pvc, just an idea worked great on my xp4 and it would cost just about nothing.some of the hoses get pricey rena 18fisher

You always could just use the eheim stuff for hooking up to the canister and then barb adapter to the closest size and try to run more conventional tank inlet/outlet. This way the eheim compression fitting are happy. I have non eheim tubing on a 2215 and no problems though.
