Hi, I am setting up a tank I bought from someone nearby. I didn't get all the plumbing from them, so I bought a new return pump and just got the silicone tubing that fits the tank fitting and the pump. My question is about the clamps for the tubing. I bought stainless steel clamps from Amazon, but worry about rusting and corrosion that could affect my tank. What kind of clamps should I be using to do the job and not ruin things by corrosion?
 
Hi , can use locking plastic clamps, or zipties work well too.
