Any Fluval FX5'ers have this problem?

[cszachury]

MY outake piece (that seperates outgoing water into two streams) keeps being knocked off. It will fit back on easily but my ray just seems to touch it, and it falls off to the bottom. Anyone else have this problem?

How could I tighten the hold on this piece?

P.S I was just "shrink-wrapping" *cough* insulating my windows today (-45 Celcius cold snap!) and thought maybe a blow dryer could cause the rubber to contract? Call it a blonde moment, but what do you think?

A zip tie is mostly used in automotive. Just put it around the tube and tighten it up.
