I got my CO2 tank filled today so I am going to get it set up tonight.
Is it OK to use regular airline tubing until I can get some that is compatible with CO2?

Thanks.

I dont see why not. The only reason y they reccomend the co2 tube is because the co2 can deteriorate the reg tube. As long ad you replace until you get the tube asap afterwards i dont see a problem.

Regular airline tubing is ok unless you are using a Bazooka type diffuser which requires higher working pressure. Vinyl or silicone tubing will either split or get blown right off the fittings. Don't ask me how I know.

Thanks.
I just picked up some CO2 tubing at Rogers.

Haha, yeah, I just bought some from J&L myself....neoprene. No point in having to deal with failing tubing.
