As far as hose... your best bet is to just buy it from the hardware store. Its about $1-1.50 I think.

Nice big sump. Gonna be harder to clean. You should drill a purge hole near the bottom so you can drain the settled junk.

Very nicely done, agreed with pharaoh on the drain hole would make a great addition to a great idea

Yeah that might just make it easier to clean out the bottom of the collected crap...I'll have to look into a petcock and hose for that...

I'm needing this kinda hose and couplings for my inlet/outlets...
50 bucks plus shipping just seems like a rip-off for 4' of hose...

Don't waste your money on those. Try something like this;

1.5-2" hose - $2 per foot

1.5-2" hose clamps - $1.39 for two

Tube of GE silicone - $3.5 - $4

The way I'm routing the hoses, they need to be really flexible.
Stainless hose clamps out here are like 1.99 ea. for 1" size, but I'm going for a cleaner look with the glue on soft rubber fittings.

You could always buy the black sump pump hose. It is really flexible.

Sadley enough, very rarely do you get great looks with the bargain price. You might have to suck it up to get exactly what you want.
