One of mine broke and I'm wondering if any place local has these. When I first got them I ordered them along with some other supplies online when I was setting up my tank.

I've got a couple 1/2" ID hoses for my reactor and skimmer and a 3/4" ID hose on my return pump. The one that broke is for my reactor but I'd like to get a few as replacements (which I should have done to begin with) if it happens again and not have to wait a week to get them.

Unless it's underwater, I use ordinary metal hose clamps. They are very strong and last almost forever. A little rust is a small price to pay for secure hoses.

Underwater I use Zip Ties, pulled one more tiny notch tighter with pliers to ensure the hose cannot slip off.

I probably should say that I stay away from vinyl tubing whenever possible. I use flexible and rigid PVC for almost all tank plumbing. Too many years of experience, too many problems with vinyl tubing.

The one that broke is one that is underwater, and I'm the same way with the ones above water even when I had my freshwater tanks I like the metal ones and like knowing their secure.

I appreciate the offer but I don't need them right away thankfully I'll be fine till I can get some. I put a zip tie on it to hold before I posted (thank you mark for posting that solution). I just prefer the clamps I feel a little more comfortable using them than the zip ties.
