1" Vynl Tubing to 3/4" Hard Plumb

[Galiant50]

My tank came pre-drilled with 60mm drain holes and 3/4" (pipe size) returns (one in each corner). I want to use tubing to connect to my pump to reduce vibration noise, but then want to use hard plumbing throughout. I only need 2ft of vynl tubing and the only quantity I can find of 3/4" tubing is for 10ft, which is way too much, so I've decided to go for 1" tubing into 3/4" pipe. What's the easiest/cheapest/simplest way to make this transition? I can find threaded adapters, but no slipxbarb fittings.

Thank you guys for all your help!

You need;
3/4" Socket x 1" FPT adapter
1" MPT x 1" Barb adapter

I'll suggest you use silicone hose instead of vinyl.
It'll be a pricy but one-time purchase and will greatly reduce vibration vs vinyl

+1 in silicone instead of vinyl, much more vibration mitigation. Id search around a little more you can definitely find somewhere that sells per ft

Bulk reef sells it by the foot

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...
