thanks for that info i just bought one the other day for my tank i wont be using it now ill go buy clear tubing from the lfsrepair said:Be carefull using a new garden hose because it can release toxins into the water. They say that people shouldn't drink out of garden hoses.
As they get older they release less and if you still want to use the hose be sure to let the water run a while to flush it out good be fore you use it.
