I had the same problem with mine, since I have them on a wave timer they would pop off after about an hour.
I just put a bead of silicone in each suction cup and help it up for about 2-3 hours with a piece of pvc and they have been doing great since!

Did you put the silicone in your tank uncured, dzones?

I've heard its toxic until cured!

no my lights are off now but all i did was just drop a bead of silicone on each cup and let it sit. I propped it up with a piece of pvc pipe from the sand. since I have all 12g nano's it was not far to go.

I have all my tanks drilled now so I just killed the flow of water in and drained below the pump, added the silicone and then let it sit. I did not let it completely dry for 24 hours but it was just a small bead in each cup so I think it will be okay with the amount i used...
