Go to solution Solved by JordanMac,

Acrylic tubing

 

Pros

-Can get really straight runs which always look good

-wont discolour like some tubing does

 

Cons

-with hard piping it is harder to move items around/swap items

-little to no flexibility so your bends have to be spot on.

-fittings and the tubing itself is a little more expensive than standard barbs and tubing

 

Regular tubing

 

Pros

-no need for heatguns etc to bend

-no need to be precise about bends etc as the tubing is flexible

-cheaper and easier

 

Cons

-doesn't look as good because you can get perfectly straight runs

-doesn't hold its shape (will sag etc)

 

your basically looking at a choice between practicality/easiness with regular tubing vs better looking/harder for acrylic tubing.

You don't necessarily need a million fittings. If you're good at bending you don't need one at every angle change...
