Could anyone 3D print me a tubing holder for a rimmed aquarium that could hold two 1/2 inch tubes instead of the traditional dosing tubing? Or would it be better to just use a couple of elbows?
 
@reely989 what are you trying to do?

I'm trying to run a closed loop to a reactor directly from my display since I don't have a sump. Thought was going to be using a sicce syncra .5 to pull water from the display, through an ozone reactor and back into the display.
 
I use these to hold return lines from reactors plumbed off the manifold in my sump. While they are adjustable, and do tighten, I "lock" them in using rubber bands. Super cheap, but relatively attractive and effective. I think I got them from ebay. Note: they were originally white.

Do you know what they are called by chance?

Lemme see if I can find them in my purchase history. Gimme a few and I'll get back to you...
 
Also depends on how thick the tubing is - going 180 might be better for a fully rigid set of elbows as there are minimum realistic curvature to these things.

Yeah, that was another concern of mine. I'm not sure how realistic is is gonna be to get a decent radius on the curvature of these tubes. Elbows are starting to seem like the better option.
 
Probe holders work fine and have a 1/2” hole in them.. plenty of places make them or you could yourself out of acrylic or a screwdriver holder from harbor freight etc.
