Hey yall, I built this DIY drip acclimation tube and was wondering if yall would make any changes too it. It's currently 1/4 inch vinyl tubing with a fast connect water control switch.

Looks super simple to use :)

One thing i might add would be a way to stay in the tank. The little acrylic “u” on the commercial ones keeps it from ending up on my floor [emoji23]. Maybe an airline gang that attaches to the tank, or other similar item.

Hmm I gotcha, I'll see what i can whip up, the gang valve seems like a good idea
 
Mine is very simple, a 90 degree airline screw valve with tubing either side. I use a bulldog clip on the top of the small jug I put the SW in and thread the tubing through it, that keeps it in the bottom of the jug (you fold down the inside handle of the bulldog clip).

My bags are floated in the tank and clipped onto the glass with a small finger clamp, so I either just drape the line in the bag or if needed thread it through the finger clamp.
