Tips For Suction Cups In Tanks?

[tennis4you]

I have an bubble wand that has 3 suction cups on it. I keep putting it in the tank and smash it against the wall, it always comes loose in a few hours. Brand new tank, it is clean.

Thanks!

Defective suction cups? Suction cups can be evil little buggers sometimes....

if i were you i would use super glue only because you have a setup tank otherwise i would use silicone but due to the long dry time not posible. but do a 60-70% water change and dry then glue where the suction cups go(aply glue to cups not glass). give it a few seconds and fill her up. i did this once befor but with my 55 i used silicone a little easier to get off. just make sure it is where you want it lol and it should work great. i am assuming you have fresh water otherwise i have no idea how super glue does in salt water and you may not want to do it.

What is the diameter of the bubble wand pipe.
Buy a small inexpensive algae magnet. dissect it and silicone a little piece to the bubble wand then attach it ot the glass with the opposing magnetic strip on the outside of the aquarium.

I thought super glue wasn't supposed to be used in aquariums...
