reef safe alternative to gear clamps

[gregzz4]

When shopping for hose clamps, buy the ones that have an A in the part #
These are typically automotive clamps, made by Tridon;
HS10 is a stainless screw in a steel band
HAS10 is full stainless

You can also get nicer clamps, AWAB, from marine outlets. Below is a picture of a 316 stainless clamp, part #316028 and is the equivalent to a #10 Tridon. The band is not perforated and the edging is curled up, so it will not cut into hoses.
