First, just want to apologize for the mostly off-topic post...
For anyone looking for a more thorough explanation regarding the fish
(likely none of you):
Saltwater fish are in a water environment that is saltier than their body.
Osmosis draws water through their skin out of their body.
Freshwater fish have a body that is saltier than their surrounding
freshwater. Osmosis draws water through their skin (membrane) into their
bodies.
In other words, freshwater fish urinate a LOT (to expel excess water) and
saltwater fish drink a LOT (to replace water they lose). If anyone is
interested in a more thorough explanation or how fresh and salt water fish
are able to maintain the proper balance of salts, a question likely flying
through all of your heads, that can be answered as well.
By the way...are you looking for something correct for the year or just need
some lines or is this an application for which there is only really a
certain type of line that will work (aside from it being hydraulic oil
pressure line)?
