I have a bubble wall in my 55gal and it will never stay down. I stuck the 2 little suction things holding it against the glass and even buried the whole bubble wall w/ gravel and a day later or sooner I will see the stupid thing at the top of the tank! What can I use to weigh it down so it says? I really love the look of the bubble wall in the tank and I really want to keep it in there. Thanks guys

I know, I used to have the same problem. What I did was, I bought this thin little weights from my fish store that can bend, and I wrapped them around the bottom of the bubble wall, and now it stays down

I also put some rocks around

or..
get one of the blue bubble stones. i have one of those, and it hasnt moved in three months. i have about an inch of rock on the bottom, and its buried till the surface is level with the rock.
i wonder if your bubble thing would work if you suctioned to the bottom, then filled around it with rocks/sand/gravel?

i set a large river rock on mine...its kinda two for one cause it looks like 2 different bubble stones, not just one long one. also, this could be hard to do but for in the future, *mine has this* there is a space between the bottom part of the long stone and the frame? you could put long peices of wire in there, coming out each side, then, before putting in gravel, tape the wire down onto the tank. then cover it up with gravel. the only way you could do this would be if your tank was bare and dry. but still!

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Right now I stuck it to the bottom and not the sides and really buried it in there and so far it seems okay. Ill see if I can find river rocks or something to hold it down then

I'm not really sure what kind of stone you have but if it has a suction cup try scraping the glass where the suction cup goes with a straight edged razor. It worked for my rena bubbler stone.
