Keep Air Pipes In Place

Hi,

Does anyone know how to keep air pipes down under the gravel, Ive tried suction cups but they go hard & become frustrating.
Your ideas would really be helpful because I'm at my wits end. :banghead: I'm changing my air pipe from plastic to rubber as the rubber
doesnt go hard & stiff it stays flexable. Now its just the keeping them down part.:wacko:

 

I had a small tank before with an air pipe running under the gravel.I used fittings to change the direction of of the airpipe and rocks to hold it down,later learned that rocks weren't necessary and only one suction cup on the fitting and air stone kept it down.

 

A semi-permanent solution would be to tie it to an ornament with relatively unobtrusive material such as nylon, or just to weigh it under whatever ornaments you happen to have in your tank.

Regards,

 

Well if its semi permanent and the tanks currently dry - some silicon ?

might be a bit too drastic

 

i use marine silicon 2 hold mine down in my 250L tank

 

I've been thinking about marine silicone small stones to the pipe would this work?

 

that can work! ijust siliconed the pipe down from about 3cm away from the stone is 2 where it leaves the tank
works for me

 

Lets see how the attaching to stones with marine silicone goes! :amuse:
