Looking for opinions. I've use the clear tubing to go from an overlow to a sump, but algae grows in it. Anyone have any other ideas or experiences. I know PVC is an option. I would like something solid in color, but really flexible. Yet smooth on the inside. Thanks!

I saw some 3/4 inch black flex tube at lowes

You could also wrap the flexible clear tube with tape (electrical or duct) or possibly paint it so that algea will not grow inside of it.
