I think I know where its coming from. Any ideas on a quick fix for a 1/2 tube that needs a clamp? I can't get to a hardware store until Tuesday, unless they sell something at walmart that I can use. I have tried a few zip ties but I think that made it worse and I have no sealant. It looks like it is getting worse to me- I think the flexible tubing is too stretched to keep out air.

Bubble gum? Duct tape? It's SUCKING, not BLOWING, right? That's easier to fix.

Its where the flex tubing fits over the pipes, so technically its sucking air in, and blowing it into my tank.
