Weight for ATO Tube

[chrisjj625]

Does anyone know of a product that you can put on the end of your ATO line to keep it in the bottom of your water container?

One end should be attached to the pump. The other end (exit) should not be in the water.

My pump is inline so there is a line coming off the pump that goes to the reservior.

They make little suction cups that you can put a zip tie thru. Its not a weight but....

I really just want a weight that the tube plugs into. They have something like this in my 1 year olds cup, why not in the aquarium trade lol.

I've used scrap 1/2" acrylic and cut a grove that snugly fits the tubing....this holds the tubing to the bottom of the ATO Reservoir.

I use these not only in my ATO, but also for the alc and calc solutions for dosing.

I drilled a hole through a spare piece of pvc and glued the tubing into it.
