Powerheads dont stay put.

[FishPharm]

Over time my powerheads seem to slip/fall out of place. Are there any tips/tricks for keeping the suction cups from powerheads stuck on the glass?:confused:

First of all you need to replace them every so often. My Maxijets work pretty good when the glass is super clean. So I use the plastic scraper and a piece of filter media in the area where I'm going to put them to make sure the glass (in my case acrylic) is really clean. Once I've done this they stay very well.

Good Luck!

Or,, you could take an old mag float,glue 1/2 to the power head,then stick it where you like useing the other half on the outside of the glass.

I use these (small) to hold my Maxi jets. I just Super Glued the half intened for cleaning to the power head. I can move it where ever I want it without getting my hands wet. Works great and will not fall off the glass, unless bumped.
