Air Pump Setup

[orangefish]

This might be a really stupid question, but how does everyone manage to get the tube out of the way when using their air pump? I have gravel as my substrate but it doesn't hold the tube down so I couldn't move it out of the way of the bubbles, as shown in the picture. Any advice of how to move the tube without moving the bubbles would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Well you could try placing the tube against the back of the aquarium and then placing an aquarium background over it
Or you could change the blue tube into a transparent one

or if there is any other equipment near it like a heater you can hide it behind there thats what i did

i cant see the reason why you couldn't hide under the gravel my gravel is much finer but i still am able to hid ehte line using the odd bigger stone

Buy the little suction cups from your LFS, then route it behind somewhere which covers it a little. Stick one at the bottom just before it enters the gravel and it should hold down a lot easier.
