How to keep 1/2" and 3/4" hose in place?

I have to run hose from the bulkhead fittings in flood & drain tables down to the res, a 55 gallon drum. I can use duct tape to attach the hose to the drum but I'd like a hardware solution if possible so I don't have to worry about it getting wet and coming undone. The supply lines are no problem since they'll attach to the pumps at the bottom of the res, but I want the drains to empty out at the top of the barrel, and they won't be attached to anything.

Not sure of your set up but if on a fitting use a hose clamp. If the tube is just hanging in the drum, drill 2 small holes in the rim/lip and use zip ties to hold it. I do this in my setups for something similiar

They also have clamps in the electrical section for holding the gray conduit/pipes. You may be able to rig one of those up

BTW, how are you draining the tables into 55 gallon drums? Are the drums on their side?

No, the tables are just higher than the drum. I wish I could trust the barrel on its side, then I wouldn't have to build the tables so frickin high.

But, what are you gonna do? I just priced horse watering tubs and they want like 150 bucks for a good sized tub.
