I ordered mine from
www.drsfostersmith.com . You may want to order more than tubing though.

It's usually sold as 3/16" diameter.

OK I did a little legwork. It seems
www.drsfostersmith.com doesn't carry it anymore. I called them and it is discontinued, but if you call their supplier Lee's Aquarium & Pet Products at 800-854-2993 I am sure you will find another distributer. By the way, Drs. Foster & Smith apologizes for the inconvenience!

many stores refer to it as 3/16 thinwall rigid tubing. if you call it rigid airline, they may not know what you mean.

Another idea you might not have considered, silly as it sounds, there's nothing you can't find on eBay. You might have to look more than once, but eventually it will turn up.

Or you can just call the manufacturer (see above) and they will tell you where to buy it.
