What tubing for ATO that doesn't pinch?

[miran2782]

Recently moved from a tank with a sump to an AIO. In the AIO I have the ATO pump in the stand under the ATO and the silicone airline tubing pops out a hole in the back, goes straight up the backside of the AIO and then has to make a 180deg turn to deposit the RODI into the AIO chamber. However my tubing pinches at that 180 deg turn. Also tried tygon tubing. What would everyone recommend to rectify this?
Thanks!

I would get a rigid L or U-shaped poylmer adapter with barbs on both ends to connect the tubing to.

There are specific plastic clips to do exactly this, bend it softly around back down.

That is what the direction I was thinking of, some kind of rigid tube I could bend. Do you have a link of where to buy that plastic clip?

I'd check out somewhere like Home Depot - probably look in their RO and plumbing sections.
