I will be employing a couple of pieces of equipment that have 1/2'' outlets, and they will have 1/2" silicone tubing connected to the outlet barbs. I am looking for a way to keep the silicone tubing mounted safely and securely so that they can drain back into the sump. I have been searching the forums, and the pictures that I have seen have shown the tubing draped over the sump walls and emptying into the sump without any mounting brackets or holders to keep them in place.

Is there a good solution to this other than just pointing the tubes into the sump without securing them?
 
I dont know your application but I use zip ties that have a screw hole built into them. Simply screw the zip ties to the wood cabinet in the location of your choosing then zip tie the tubing exactly where you want it. Home depot/Lowes/ hardware store etc.
