6105's falling out of the holder

[birddog486]

I have four 6105's in my 180 reef tank and all of them have been consistantly turning in the mounts. I've had to realign them on a weekly basis but now one of the pumps keeps falling out of the clamp.

Any one else having this problem? Is there a fix besides putting a zip tie around the clamp?

You can bend the clamps to make them hold the pump more firmly:

Thanks Jim, I'll give it a try

The new software for the 7906 allows you to "ramp up" the pumps if you're pulsing them. Visually it seems as if they're not jumping around as much. I don't have issues with them coming loose though, just shifting around a bit.

birddog, that is an odd problem to have, but bending them should work, keep me posted. The newer silence holders 6065.650 would help as well as the rubber posts add some grip to the pump, they also make it harder to turn when that is what you are trying to do however.
