Filter Holding Suckers

[doresy]

Just got me a lovely little Hagen TropiQuarium55 in great nick for a tenner. It came with a working heater, filter and a load of gear

The filter is a Trio 2000 which looks pretty good for that size tank but the only trouble is the suckers wont hold They look ok and I have tried cleaning them and soaked them in warm/hot water to try and revitalize them but still no-go.

Any ideas or does any one have some gooduns to sell? (They fit by a small oblong slot then giving them a quarter turn)

i had a trio a few years back and it kept sliding down the tank the suckers held fast but still slid about.
i purchased new suckers that didnt fit properly but still the filter slid down the tank .
i ended up finding a rock the right size to fit under the filter

Thanks for that

Mine is fixed now As the filter had not been used for some time the suckers had become very domed so after warming them I pushed them onto a shiny suface with a weight on them. Now they are much flater as stick well.

Job done!
