Hi Dave

I'd suggest going down to the grocery store and getting a 64oz bottle of
juice then drinking that! ;-)

Seriously, the soda bottles are notorious for tipping over and spilling the
contents into your aquarium or onto your rug. The juice bottles have a
number of advantages: their lower profile and full width base dramatically
lowers the likelihood of tipping, stronger sides with builtin handles means
easier to carry especially if damp, wider mouth for filling.

As far as fitting the line don't bother with the silicone cement. Instead go
for a compression fit by drilling the hole smaller than the airline, cutting
the airline end on an angle and pull it through with a pair of pliers. This
will give you a leak free fit that will last a very long time.

Besides, juice is better for you!

have fun
