Is their any way to rehab the rubber suction cups on my algae clips??? Or has anyone conceived a better way to attach algae clips to their tank???

It seems like a new algae clip will stick to my glass tank really good for about a month. Then after every feeding I have to retrieve it from the bottom of the tank.

Anyone have any ideas???

What kind of clip do you got? One of those "Fish Clips"?.... IMO they r cr*p
Try one of these: Never had a problem with them, the suction cup that comes with them is real flexable too. Otherwise get another cup...

You guessed it!!! The fish clip. I had one like yours a long time ago, and it was better, but I can't remember where I bought it.

Can anyone suggest an on-line source??

But is there a way to rehab suction cups? I have power heads on them and as I have an acrylic tank I have no other choice. Right now all power heads are proped on rocks.... grrr

just a guess here, but i think the suction cups made out of silicone (very flexible cups) would last a lot longer than the rubber ones (the cups found on most of these clips). just my observations over the years.
