I just saw a Tunze Pump hose holder and noticed they have the tubes essentially parallel to the water so it sort of sprays out. I have some I made but they dose pointing straight down. I do notice the Kalk one over time clog from whatever doesn't completely drain leaving the dry residue over.

Anyone have experience of one setup vs the another and notice that one method clogs slower than the other?
 
Not sure if one method is better or not. I used to have trouble with my AFR tube clogging at the end. I rigged it up so my ATO sprays on the end of the AFR tube and that keeps it clear.
That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
