The silicone tubing is REALLY easy to work with, but it does let water evaporate and isn't clear.

PVC is really HARD to work with, but wont let water evaporate and is totally clear.

PVC tubing can be boiled, bent to shape and cooled in said shape... This will literally MOULD it to the shape you specify, and actually makes for some pretty good tubing this way. Just boil it for a good 5 minutes, and let it cool in the shape you need (tough to do) for at least 10... It helps if you have an empty freezer you can shove it in.

Yep, cold water will be fine, just make sure you keep it in the same shape as it cools.
