has anyone used flexible tubing for return or drain any suggestions

I use pvc flex for both return and drain. It just makes adjustments and such around and under the tank easier. I use 1.5 in for maximum flow.

do u clamp the 1.5 cause my return pump is 3/4" in diamater

I use cpvc 3/4 in to 1 in, then to 1.5 in, then to hose nipple.

No I only use it because it fits well with the threading on my mag 12. Just bring your return pump outlet to your local hardware store (home depot) then test different 3/4 threadings until you get a good fit. I just step up until I can use a 1.5 in pipe niple.
