my dosing lines occasionally/accidentally hang low and when the sump water level rises from a power outage etc the water level submerges the end of line. Sometimes this results in a blockage developing. whenever my parameters vary this is on my check list.

I only notice this on my alk line.
Theres a hack using a small 1/4" splitter and running ato water through the alk line where it oxidizes keeping it clear.

Can you raise your dosing tubes?

I do exactly this!

Air line T splitter with the ALk line on one end, and the ATO on the other, and the third just goes to the tank. Haven't had an issue with the alk line since implementing this.
