Recommended tubing

What kind of tubing do most people use for general connections, let's say manifold to reactors, UV light etc?

My manifold is plumbed to my reactors using vinyl tubing and from the reactors to my sump using 1/2” RODI type tubing with John Guest Connections. My UV is hard plumbed with PVC to my closed loop pump. I’ve plumbed smaller UV sterilzers using silicone and vinyl tubing on other systems but I always prefer hard plumbing on larger UV’s. That said, I don’t skimp on UV’s by using cheap ones that don’t perform great. The AquaUV’s are designed for high flow rates and as such often warrant much larger plumbing that would be practical using vinyl or silicone.

114 watt AquaUV plumbing on my system.
