where do you buy suction cups to hold hoses?

[reybie]

I need some to manage my intake and output hoses. I found some online but the shipping kills it for me.

what style are you looking for? do you have a pic of one?

[reybie]

The one I use look like these...

[TROPHEUS]

are you looking for just the suction cups or the clips too?

[Louree]

Have I mentioned I hate suction cups? If you have the suction cups but not the clips you can try threading the suction cups (on the non sticky part) with a hot needle and fishing line, upholstery thread, or even zip ties. If you have the clips but not the suction cups, I have found some suction cups at dollar stores that I can jam clips into. It just really depends on the suction cup and the clips. You can always make your own out of dollar store suction cups and one of the above ideas for clips. If you have neither, your outta luck. jk

Looking for both suction and clips.

@Louree - the suction cups and zip ties would work -- might go that route as last resort. It won't be easy on/easy off though.

Have you tried Petsmart or Petco? I know I have seen these somewhere.

[reybie]

That, I have not done. Maybe this is a good time to stop by at the local big box.

[fshfanatic]

I think so. They stock many items that are only needed once and awhile. Unlike the little places that only stock what moves quickly.

[TROPHEUS]

yes they have them at petco. was in there yesterday picking up dog food and was looking around and saw them there.

Do you use the suction cups/clips inside the tank or the outside of the back of the tank?

I use them both inside and outside.

[reybie]

If at all possible I just do the outside. If I do the inside, it gets covered with BBA when I have a breakout.
