Need some help with falling power heads.

[Scuba Dan]

Hey guys..... Need a little help. I have 4 power heads hooked to my wave maker. They are held to the glass with suction cups. My problem is they keep falling down and cause a MAJOR sand storm in my tank and my LR ends up covered in sand. Any ideas on how to prevent this? or is there a better way to mount the power heads??
Thanks..

They make magnetic holders that hold them now. They are a little pricey right now but work very well. I bought them for my 2 tanks and its has been a good investment.
There is also someone who posted a link on here to a person that makes acrylic holders for them also. Hopefully someone reading this post remembers the link to it as they were much cheaper.

WOW, they are a little $$$$$. Thanks for the link Bebo77.

Phyxius, I hope somebody will see my cry for help and tells me who makes them acrylic holders.

Thanks again guys.........

Thanks for the reply college429. What kind/type of epoxy did you use?
Thanks again...

these have a ball mount on the magnet to adjust the direction with more flexibility. THey are still pricey at $25 but well worth it.

Typical two part epoxy you can get in a double syringe style applicator at Home Depot, etc.

I finally found that place someone had given a link to before with the acrylic hangars. Its a cheaper alternative although people here have given some good ideas too
