Question Power Heads

Hey everyone,

I was given a pair of power heads that came with my 75 gallon tank. Any ideas as to how I could get them to stick to the side of the tank? I was thinking get some suction cups. Help me!

Pics would help but if there is a place for it you can use suction cups or maybe even super glue some magnets to the back of them if they have a flat back that can go against the glass

Here is a pic of the Power Heads (assuming the attachment worked). They still have to be cleaned

you can either try and find some suction cup mounts that the maxijets use and super glue them the the power head, or super glue magnets to it. if it were me i would take the money that the magnets or whatever would cost and buy two new power heads, maybe your lfs will give you some credit on the two that you have. I believe you can find maxijets 1200's online for under 20$. those units are hagen power heads, looks like a 302 model to me.
