1.25" silicone hose?

[Velcro]

Anyone know if this exists? I wanted to match the output diameter of my new DC pump and run silicone for the first foot or so to cut down on vibration... I'm just not seeing this size, though.

Grainger has it in stock but only in 25ft lengths and insanely expensive..;Greedy

Something like this? Its black to so algae won't grow in it

Go to McMaster-Carr (mcmaster.com) and search for silicone tubing. They have it in all sizes. They are not the cheapest option but they often have anything you are looking for.

Actually I think I've just decided to step the output down to 1" for the first part of just silicone then step it back up to 1.25" for the main run (about 5 feet horizontal and 2 feet vertical).

I had a terrible time finding silicone tube in larger diameters when I was setting up my tank two years ago. I can’t remember now if I needed 1.25” or 1.5”, but either way there’s not much that’s readily available over 1”.

I finally wound up ordering some from china on eBay. I had to convert to metric dimensions and searching eBay for the metric sizes I was able to find it available from a few vendors at reasonable per foot prices. Unfortunately all of them shipped from china, but it finally arrived and it’s been keeping my pumps silent for 2 years now

Glad the post helped someone I ended up hard plumbing the pump.

Definitely. Well seeing as I going to receive ~3ft, i should have about 2.5ft left to sell afterwards. That is after waiting a month for it to arrive. Lol.
