Ghazanfar Ghori July 8, 2005 Share July 8, 2005 Anyone have any tricks / tips to keep powerheads secure? The suction cups don't do a goodjob of keeping them on the side of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarosh July 8, 2005 Share July 8, 2005 I've seen a few ways of securing power heads. The first being gluing it to a piece of acrylic and then attach the acrylis to the upper black rim of the tank. I've recently converted an old magnet algae scrapper into a movable powerhead fixture. Just glued the powerhead to the magnet and positioned it where I needed on the side glass of the tank.

Ghazanfar Ghori July 8, 2005 Author Share July 8, 2005 I've thought about the magnet method. Thinking about finding a source for cheap standard coated magnets and using those. I like the fact that you can move / angle etc the powerhead when using that method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghazanfar Ghori July 8, 2005 Author Share July 8, 2005 Found this... http://www.magnetsource.com/Consumer%20Pag...ramic_Mags.html Prices seem very reasonable. Would these be safe in the reef or would I have to coat them with something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
