Rigid juice bottles fit the bill perfectly and don't collapse under suction.

You don't get as much clogging but you also can't see if it's clogged

Kent Marine I think sell this. Debron Aquatics sell it I believe and so do
many Reef places. There are bound to be other places that sell/make it too.
