Soft silicone tube

Anyone know a good source for 1" ID soft silicone tubing?

White Soft Silicone Tubing (Sold by the Foot)

Sold by the Foot. Why does BRS recommend this? For ultra-quiet plumbing a small section of silicone tubing is key. We recommend at least a small piece to isolate pumps from the ridged plumbing. Silicone tubing can kink fairly easily, so it isn’t the best to use in locations with hard bends...

Lol yeah, unfortunately. Otherwise is there a menards or lowes in your area? They sometimes carry items like that.

Or maybe even a fleet farm or farm and fleet. They might have something for running water for animals.

Home Depot sells 1" ID vinyl tubing for around $2 a foot. 10 foot sections are around $20 and 50 foot sections about $100.
Search for vinyl tubing, not silicone tubing.

Thanks, I'm aware. I don't want vinyl, already have that on my other tank. I want silicone as it's softer.
