50g experiment, day 1

Thanks for the ideas, Richard. I'll write down all the suggested
products and take the list to the hardware store when I go to get the
screws and pick the one that seems best.

Can you confirm you've used these in aquariums with no negative
effects?

Thanks,

Liz

Suction cups haven't been rubber since about 1933. They're vinyl and
silicone will NOT adhere to them. JB Weld will (butit's damn ugly, but
safe) and so will urethane. Lepages makes urethane glue, it'll be next
to the JB Weld in the hardware store adhesives aisle.

JB Weld in an aquarium? You mean it's not just for plugging holes in my
20 year old motorcycle's muffler?

Good God no, it's good for everything. (turns around and looks at tank) see
that tank there? It has a Tetra sponge filtere that's moved with me from
Burlington to Los Angeles to Toronto to Banockburn. It's 30 years old
this year (and I didn't buy it new). It keeps trying to break but
JB Weld is holding it together.

JB Weld, vice grips and duct tape can fix ANYTHING.

Absolutey. If I was guessing I'd say so :-)

JB Weld is damn ugly gray. Urethane is baby**** yellow, just as ugly. Works though.

JB Weld is now drying in the holes with stainless steel screws to keep
it company... Tomorrow after work I'll put the decorations in the
tank and we'll see if they stick... :-)

Pics when done.

Thanks,

Liz

Thanks for the help - esp. NetMax's idea about the screws and
Richard's JB Weld suggestion (together, they're perfect)!
