Princess Auto sells them by the bag. IIRC there are about 20 of various sizes for a couple of bucks. Neon colors is the only problem with them.

metal hose clamps also seem to be oiled which wouldn't be good in your tank. Never knew there were plastic ones though...i'll have to remember that.

Those stainless steel clamps usually have non-stainless screws for some reason. I bought a bunch thinking I was smart untill all the screws started to rust.

Stainless
Stainless is called 'stain LESS' because it stains(rusts) less than regular steel. Stainless will still rust, especially the grade used on hose clamps. I second the motion for zip ties or plastic hose clamps.
