Where can I buy 1 1/2" diameter hose for water change? Thanks.

That'll work, or u can buy the black plastic stuff in the irrigation section for like 10.00.

Consider a pool supply store or hot tub store. Around here, larger piping is less expensive at those locations than home depot or lowes..

I purchased two of these and joined them together. Water changes are so much faster now.

Agreed! At least draining the water.

Did you order online?

I got stuff from Lowe's. Wasn't very expensive but both of my tanks are close to sinks so I didn't need a lot.

No, I got one at Lowe's and the other from Home Depot. I paid $21.96 + tax for both. Just ask for the sump hose.

This is what I use to drain my tanks with the hose attached. It make water changes easy and drains fast.

Close off the black valve and leave the blue valve open. Suck on the vinyl tubing until the water is half way in the tubing. Close the blue valve and open up the black valve and you will here the water draining. Once you have finish draining the water open up both valves.
