I made a clear tank from a 10ml syringe. Even though I have a lathe and a dremmel, I looked for an easier way to thin out the ends of the tube for a proper fit.
The solution was to use a flat 5/8" wood boring drill bit. I slid the tube over the bit shank, then inserted the shank into the drill. I slid the tube up to the bit while it is slowly spinning and the sharp tapered edge of the lower 1/2 of the bit nicely reamed out the tubing.
