    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.

    Otty had posted an item that was used for just that problem not too long ago. Maybe when he chimes in, he can show you.

    The magnet holders are a little pricey but WELL worth it! There are enough things that can go wrong with our tanks that I was tired of the little suction cups wreaking havoc on mine.
