Silicone Tubing - large diameter

[HarlequinTusk]

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

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

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!
