belallanon Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 ...suction cups that work. I'm constantly having to reattach my aquaglobe micro powerheads...ahhhhhh. I've read that some people just silicone the stuff that doesn't stick. Doesn't this make it permanent? Can you pull the device off again? Any special brand of silicone? Thanks. Randy Link to comment
Physh1 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Originally posted by Toooloud Any Aquarium Safe silicone.. Word. I've glued all my cups onto the glass. Works great. The minerals and salts will "fill" the gaps in the rubber which makes them useless for suction. Cameron Link to comment
belallanon Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Physh1, Are your cups now a permanent part of your aquarium? Can you seal the cups underwater or do you have to drain the tank? Link to comment
Raise Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 why not just make/use a small acrylic hanger, that way you can remove it if ya want to. Link to comment
HogWinslow Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I made hangers for mine and they work great. Link to comment
harbingerofthefish Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Yeah, the second you pull them off the glass for the first time, you're screwed. The only ones that have worked well are the jumbo mofos that are on my heater. But of course it doesn't vibrate. Hangers and zip ties are the way to go. I have a friend with a 75 that has like 8 ph in there. they are all zipped together in pairs and literally just hanging in the tank. Link to comment
