Line is but not pliable enough and it’s kinking

Any ideas on what I can do

Is there a larger diameter line that’s as flexible as this smaller dosing line? This is my final hurdle before water.

What about get a double threaded female elbow and put hose to threaded adapters on the elbow and cut the kink out and replace it with the 45 elbow.

I hope this doesn’t come off dickish. But man there’s a lot going on in that one section. Your not afraid all that is going to discourage you from doing routine maintenance. It would me

No you're correct there is a lot going on in there and I've wrestled with if I should change it but I always comeback to this is the way I want the system plumbed. The varios handles the display, while the vectra handles the fuge, a reactor when/if needed, and can also be used in the event the main pump ever takes a crap. I won't be discouraged from basic maintenance though, the way its designed this will still be my most hands off tank to date.

loosen blue union, turn T fitting in that direction and shorten black tubbing by a couple inches So that it arches up and over the 90 on the bottom left corner.
