1 inch Inner Diameter Silicone tubing?

[PeetaJai]

Hi
Does anyone know where I can buy 1 inch Inner Diameter silicon tubing? I need around 4 inch of it to bridge return pump to the return manifold to stop vibration?
or will these tubing work as well?
Thanks

Silicone works better than plastic for dampening the vibration. You can try the tubing you have on hand to see if it works for you though. I also have my pump just barely not resting on the bottom on the sump glass (hanging from the return pipe) so reduced vibration there too.

I haven’t checked recently but I got this from BRS for the same use a few years ago.

How bad is vibration if I just to straight hard plumb into the return pump? Is my first time hard plumbing a tank. Any feedback is appreciated.

What you have is fine. It’s ridged tho. Like jvu said. Silicone is the best. Sometimes good is fine. If you don’t like it. You can always change it to silicone later.

All of my plumbing is hard plumbed and I have no vibration issues.

Still looking? I have a piece you can have. DM me.

I want y'all to consider, and admire, the self-restraint that went into composing this response in a family-friendly way.

Thank you all, I found a hard plastic piece that fit for now. Will see how it does when the tank is up and running in the future.
