Rigid U shaped airline tube

[thresher]

Anyone know where I can source some of these? I speaking of the type that would commonly come with drip acclimation kits. Or anyone have a source of a very compact airline tubing holder that would create a gentle u shape over the rim of the aquarium and hold it in place. I find that dosing line holders are too bulky for my small aquarium. I've been scouring Amazon and Ebay but cant find what im looking for.

Ppl use a hot gun to bend the tubing into that shape

Just get regular ridged line and pour boiling water where you want to bend it. When you get it where you want it hold it and run it under cold water.

Yup exactly. To keep it from kinking heat 2" on both sides of the bend, don't try to do too tight of a radius.

I usually insert some weed eater line or 3D filament in the airline before bending to keep it from kinking. Warm it up with a heat gun or hair dryer. It works every time.

Perfect! A cheaper better solution. My wallet thanks you.
