how is your ato hose mounted?

[Netofficer3710]

I have 2 ato's coming and I need a way to keep the hoses out of the water but not allow it to fall out and drain on the floor either.
I am making acrylic rim brackets tonight and I will post pics but I an curious how others. have accomplished this task.

You also need the hose outlet higher than the ato water level to prevent siphoning. I have a piece of PVC that has the ato hose stuck to the inside with a dab of silicone seal. The water runs down the inside of the PVC into the sump keeping the hose outlet up higher than the ato water level.

This is the solution I came up with.
They might not be the prettiest acrylic work but they will be out of sight.
I have a tank mount and a sump mount ATO on the way from autotopoff.com that I will be using with these.

I used a barbed fitting into two pvc 90s to create a hook that that hangs on the side of my tank.

i use the clips that come with maxijets and make sure the hose is above the water.
