As a rule of thumb, if you double the diameter of hose then you will get 4 times the flow-rate.
You could also raise the height of the tank. If you increase the height off the ground by 4 times, then you will get twice the flow-rate.(For the same pipe size)

Also, you can get the IBC fittings here;

Hope this helps.

I have found ebay to me much cheaper than donedeal for ICB fittings in the past.
