on all my plumbing I use at least a couple inches of Spa Flex on the inlet and outlet lines to help dampen vibrations, I also place either a union or a union valve for easy removal for cleaning.

A union like what Quinn has would work. I just don't remember anymore, but I could have done the vinyl tubing just because it's just as easy to remove if I need to clean the pump. But it doesn't slip off (or leak for that matter, not that it would matter much since it's in the sump) on its own, but it's just basically a low-tech alternative. If you ever want to pop by I could show you have I have it, shoot me a PM if you'd like to check it out. Or I could pop by and help you sometime...

I am using some of that braided flex tubing from Home Depot, and as stated by Tony, Heat it up and hold until cool. That is the only way to get the "perma bend" out of it. I have had no problems with leaks or kinks in it since I heated it. If I was to do it all again I would stick to the PVC solid tubing.
Next tank
