        If you do get it straight then you will have problems coiling it.

        My hoses become a lot softer and more manageable if I run hot water through it for a while. I am with Cichlid, no point in getting it straight it doesn't really make a difference.

            You need a piece of hose. It wasn't intended to go directly into the tank. It is too heavy. The best idea I've seen so far is having it coiled up in a bin. Mine is 15" of the 1 1/2 and it is just about all you'd want to wrestle with. I leave it outside and run a 75' hose through the house.
