Aquarium glass clip for airline tubing

Airline and CO2 tubing float loose in an aquarium and kink over the rim. A glass clip straddles a 6 to 10 mm tank wall with a U-shaped body, holds two 4 mm airline tubes in 4.2 mm channels with a 3.5 mm snap opening, and has 1.5 mm walls so it does not shadow the tank. Printing it flat in PETG keeps it waterproof and inert, and a 0.3 mm draft on the rim slot lets it slide on without scratching the glass.

Tank walls vary from 4 mm nano tanks to 12 mm rimless ones, and SpeakCAD generates a clip to your exact glass thickness and tube diameter. Ask for a third channel or a heater cable slot in the chat, then preview free in the browser.
