Silicone Tubing - large diameter
I have a reeflo pump on order that has 1-1/2" input/output ports. I wanted to reduce the vibrations to the pump by (1) putting a dampening pad underneath it and (2) using a short length of soft silicone tubing on the input and output. BRS only sells silicone tubing up to 1" diameter. I haven't had any luck finding the larger diameter silcone tubing online (in short lengths). Does anyone know where I might be able to find it....or have alternate advice?

Silicone Tubing - large diameter
McMaster Carr is the go-to for a bunch of sundries like this.
Here is their selection of 1.5” id tubing https://www.mcmaster.com/standard-pl...-rubber-tubing Sort by ID on the left side and go from there . We use the tygon in bio labs, but food grade silicone will work. In fact, most of that selection is good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I'm in the market for this too but hadn't gotten around to looking if silicon tubing was even a thing! The foot long section of vinyl tubing I'm currently using is just too stiff and transfers vibrations. My tank would be darn near silent if I could get rid of the pump noise and at the moment a $300 variable flow DC pump is out of the question. good to know where to find it!
