MP 60s falling off

[Osama]

I spoke with Alex at Ecothech for assistance and he really impressed me with the conversation regarding my issue. I just need Matt to come over and reapply the anchors after cleaning the glass surfaces , for all the MPs and secure them in place so they are easily retrievable.
Here is the issue at hand For Info
I have four MP60s in my 500g. (I bought a fifth one that is now used as a spare).Matt installed my system and did a beautiful job. My MP60s loosen up and they fall off and the motor is behind the beautiful fixed framing enclosure and I am unable to get to it. Matt will be coming to retrieve it for us. My question : How to best anchor the motor in place so it does not keep falling off. I had three of the four fall off at various times (less than 6 month since installed). I need to be able to vary the flow etc and not worry about loosing the motor and have difficulty retrieving it. Motor is behind the fixed vertical boards at each end of the nicest enclosure ever!! see Picture Of Matt's craftsmanship
As I said beautiful setup but placement of our MP 60's are less than optimal!!
Any ideas to anchor solidly and still be able to remove if maintenance is needed will be essential

WE LOVE OUR TANK AND THE WORK DONE BY SHO-TANK (all work is done by Matt himself). Thanks for your thoughts on the anchoring of the Mp's!!

Only have five inch space between glass and wall
So I hope Matt can reattach the motor properly with the limited access



If Ecothech or any one else has any ideas let me know pls

Osama,

The aquarium looks great! Please let me know how everything works out once the new mounting tabs arrive.

Osama,

Thanks Alex... Upon receiving the parts, hoping that Matt can fix this issue. I will contact him and see if he can fit me in his busy schedule. He is a good professional knowledgeable reefer owner and cabinet maker all in one and a workaholic!!! getting him here is my challehge>.

Was able to retrieve the motor with an idea from a fellow reefer that I am repeating here for the benefit of others .. " Use a magnet and lower it to where the motor is and .." It worked using my tank glass strong magnet cleaner. Cleaned the wet side using hot water and vinegar and rotor moving freely and sounding in perfect condition when rotated by hand

After multiple attempts I could not locate the pump where I needed it but finally got it working close to the surface of the tank WAITING FOR MATT to place it in a proper spot and anchor it properly so I can run it at all desired mode.. Coat me a bundle for 5-MP60s I am OK with the price as it is a beautiful pump when located and anchored properly... NOT sure if the anchoring mechanism will work when it is in an enclosure where temp will reach over 90 degrees?? we shall see

Matt will be coming and fix this issue I have with the MP 60s
Sent u email about the need for more tabs to place around each of the five motors and question about use of coral glue..
Will keep U informed after everything is anchored in place and I am able to run the MP60s under various mode/profiles... Thanks for excellent support . hope it will work as I love the MPs but not liking their inability to stay put !!

Osama - Nice looking tank, do you have a build thread?

 

[Osama]

Yes and thanks FYI Here it is

Previously had a 180g that I had to retire due to work and I hope to get my 500 looking like that

Then my 320 good but not as good as the 180. Also had to retire it due to work



I guess I am addicted to this hobby
