Sounds like mineral wool/rock wool.

I used the vibrant 1" silicone hose, comes in 20' rolls for about $5/ft. It makes for a clean and hopefully, long lasting install. A little silicone grease on the hose fittings will save a load of teeth gritting and profanity next time you have to remove the hose.
