Default Doser hose nightmare

So asides from the heat hurting my SPS, I discovered all three hoses somehow disconnected from the chemical bottles.

How long have I been unaware? No clue!


Anyone have a good way to secure the hoses to the check valves? Glue? Zip ties?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

That's so weird since its vacuum and not pressure. I would just use some zap straps to secure it.

I had it happen awhile back, i found my solutions weren't mixed enough and the residue on the bottom of my dosing jugs was getting sucked up and building up in the lines till they plugged solid and popped off. Alk more so for my case.
