Safe Way to Hold Tubing Down

[Viperboy]

I want to hold my tubing down to the bottom of my ATO bucket so it is at the very bottom and not moving around (I am using an aqualifter so it is just airline tubing) but how do you guys hold this down that is safe or weigh it down. Thanks

You know I got all crazy making little anchors out of coral epoxy....until I realized water flow pretty dang good through one of those air stones....

If not, hopes and dreams come in a close second.....

A small rock from your tank and a rubberband have always done the trick for me. I'm assuming the tubing is underwater, right?

It's going to be in freshwater though so liverock won't be live for long.

I would give the epoxy anchor a try.

Grab a rock and zip tie the tube to it.

Try zip tying a piece of acrylic rod, maybe a coat hanger cut to length, to the tubing. If a rock has life on it it could create ammonia in your top off as it dies. You could also super glue slightly larger diameter acrylic tube from your LFS to the bottom and slip the airline tubing through these.
