Need help with my powerheads...

[jennsimm]

Hi everyone. Havent posted in awhile, but everything was going so great until this past week. I cleaned my tank last weekend like I do every weekend, but for some reason, I cant keep my powerheads stuck to the glass. they keep falling off, and I now have a big mess of sand on my LR, and big piles of it all over. some places have no sand. this is driving me crazy. About 10 times a day I am sticking them back to the glass, just to turn around and they are off again. The tank has been set up for months...and just now this problem. Do you have any advice for me?? Also, bought a new fish last weekend, woke up Mon. morning to see he was on the ground...GGGRRR.... He jumped out from a VERY SMALL spot where there was no glass. Hard lesson learned that day. He was 40.00 too.

You will either need to get new suction cups (call the manufacturer) or figure a way to mount them without them.
It doesn't take long for suction cups to get brittle in a Saltwater tank.
