[Milad]

whats best way to to attach the vinyl tubing to a pump? I cant use the hose clamp because its under water and it will rust.

there are plastic hose clamps.
otherwise brute force and tight fitting tubing?

heat your tubing in hot water or with a hair dryer then attach it with a stainless or plastic clamp-you could also try zip ties

Use that. Since it is submerged, it needs to be plastic.

+1 boiling water, plastic clamp

does rona or home depot sell those plastic clamps?

I am sure you could source them elsewhere, BRS was the place I got mine, and thus I knew I could link to a picture for you!

Anywhere that sells parts for a phosban reactor would have ones for that size. And I think some of the canister filters use them still. I would check with some of your local fish stores.
