cknowlto, I found suction cups at Michael's -- a crafts store chain. I think there were 4-6 cups in a package. The suction cups come with metal hooks attached around the nub on the back but are removeable. I think they were around $2/package.

So far I'm happy with the suction cups. They are on three axes and hold very well. In fact, after first testing placement, it was hard to get them off -- I'd pull one side off, then the other, but then the first side was stuck again.... it went on like this. :) And, since mounting it for...

As it says above the CPVC was painted with Krylon Fusion satin black paint. The paint itself is supposed to bond with plastic, so I don't expect any problems with chipping or cracking (under normal use). So far, it looks great and works fine. It is much less conspicuous than the natural...

Hi, I wonder if there are any sponge enthusiasts around who can help me find a one (or a few) species of sponges that I would like to keep. I've checked nearly every online supplier I could find, and they usually only offer the same few types of tree or clump sponges. I'm looking for a tube...

Tenshi, I have no experience with the macro lenses in question, but I did purchase a Sigma 20mm lens over the Canon version, and I have been very happy with it. It actually had better specs than the Canon lens. One resource that I've found invaluable in researching camera lenses is...

[1] Brackets. Consist of 3/4" CPVC cut into 1" pieces, removing a section, and notching the back for the 1" suction cup (crafts store). [2] Spraybar with brackets attached. Originally I was looking for a 3-way elbow for the corner, but I couldn't find it locally, so I went with the single...

I've come up with a solution to my problem! I ended up buying a length of 3/4" CPVC and some suction cups. I cut 1" lengths of the pipe, cut about a 1/2" section out lengthwise (think a C-shaped cross section), and drilled a notch in the back in which to insert the suction cup. The finished...

Yeah, I had been thinking suction cup brackets, but who carries just a bracket that will hold, say, 1/2" CPVC?

Hello all. I'm thinking of installing a home cooked PVC spray bar/circulation system which would include a long piece across the back/inside/top of the tank. How have folks successfully attached something like this? Where do I get the brackets/whatever to do this? Thank you.
