  |  best way to secure a power head
How do I get my power heads to stay in place?
They keep building white stuff on thesuction cups, and eventually end up falling into my sand and causing all sorts of a mess.
I currently have them propped up on rocks, but I would like to get them back to their proper dept and angle.
