I have a few pumps that I would to like use for water
movement in my tanks. The rubber suction cups never hold
and I either lost or never got the hang on clips. Is there some way to fix
these to the tank at different levels that you have used? They are
from 100-590 gpm rated. My tanks are 2-120's, one reef, one African.

Doesn't allways look the best but what I do is put the powerhead on a
piece of PVC pipe that I have drilled full of small holes. Then you can
poke the pipe into your sand bed and it will hold the powerhead up for you.

well if you have the suction cups still attached and haven't lost them you
can clean the cups and the glass VERY clean and put clear aquarium sealant
on them, they will hold till you forcefully take them off.
