If you don't mind the stickin part HD carries zip as for the clips HD might have them or try LFS? I hve a few here that I can trade you for your stand.. Haha

I don't understand what you mean by securing on top. Do you mean I should rotate the dry end so the wire is sticking up vertically?

As for your air intake issue in the sump, I don't think it's your bubble trap
It looks like your pump is moving a massive amount of water and you need to either;
A - Put a valve after the pump and slow it down some or;
B - Raise the water level in the return section more ( maybe not ideal depending on your power out level )
What model is that Iwaki pump ? I can't make it out

Thanks Greg! I'll have to take a visit to HD or Rona to try and find those wire anchors.
I'm concerned about damaging the pump if I close the valve on the return line to slow down the pump's output.
I've raised the water level a little but as well as I've added a 90 on the bulkhead which has significantly reduced the amount of bubbles in the display but there is still that burst that gets in there every minute or so which is just frustrating me!
I'll try to play with the flow today and see how that affects the bubble situation. I think part of the problem is the amount of water thats draining in my sump which causes a lot of bubbles too and they don't have a long enough travel distance before the return to disappear themselves.
btw, its an Iwaki RT30.
