where to find 1.5" drain hose

[77bandit]

I'm currently plumbing my tank and have 4 1.5" bulkheads for drains. I cannot find 1.5" drain hoses on any website or amazon even. I found flex PVC but it's not terribly flexible. Please help

Most people use pvc pipe or the flex hose you found. I use the 1 1/2" and 2". But I have a few pieces of the flex hose for some areas as it was easier to go around some tight spaces. Check out some of the amazing setups some people have on the forums to get some ideas and decide which way you want to go.

Personally, I’d hard plumb it with PVC but if you want to use hose, here are a couple options.

Or get the ribbed pond tubing. IME the braided and unbraided that Scott linked to are prone to kink. I don't like that in drains. You can find black ribbed tubing on Amazon. Here's one link but the same stuff can be found at lower price. Laguna I believe.

Bilge pump hose would be a cheaper option if there is no pressure (gravity drain).

Try a local plumbing supply place.
