Just take it with You to Your local hardware store. They normaly have the clear flexible hose on spools. see which one fits.
 
well i was going to do that, but i am at work currently and wont have time to run all the way home and all the way back to the hardware store before they close
i get off at 5, and have a 1/2 hour drive home, and anouther 15 minute min to get back to town...
if i get the hose size before i leave i can stop by anc pick some up on my way through town...
 
I have a piece of eheim green hose in my hand, it is marked as 16/22 mm, with this number after it
4005940

5/8" Interior dia (for those of us stateside)

wall thickness appears to be 3/32"

At home i used 5/8" ID thin walled (i thinkm its been a while), it can kink on you though so watch how it is run.

Is the hardware stuff safe to use? :popcorn:
