Default Vinyl Tubing

Used vinyl tubing to plumb my tank and the damn stuff keeps curling out of the sump. Anyone have any tricks for straightening this stuff out?

Use reinforced tubing, the regular stuff will pretty much always kink

Thanks guys got most of the curve out of the hoses. Hopefully once tank water starts running through them it will help a little more. I will defiantly look for a stiffer hose next time.
