He is not getting kinks because of bends, which those coils are designed to prevent. He is getting it because of the negative presure created by the pump. If those coils are strong, he can put them INSIDE the tube, and they would act as a brace. I think this is what jaydee was suggesting.

It was just a suggestion...I thought there was a chance they would work if the pump suction wasn't too much. And I really don't like the idea of coils inside tubing. I had the same problem with an Iwaki sucking out of a res, almost flattened the tubing (1/2"X3/4" Tygon R3603) and significantly reduced flow. I solved the problem by mounting the punp and res barb to barb with about a 1/4" between the barbs.
