Power head cord management in tank

[dreamcatcherr9]

For those not fortunate enough and still using power heads / wave makers with cords inside tank.

Do you have any creative cord management methods?

I'm bumping this one up. I think this could be a good discussion. How do you guys manage cords inside your tank?

I thought I stumped the group! Lol.

Maybe we are left to hanging power cords from wavemakers forever!

I was going to use adhesive cable management clips for outside tank.

Someone needs to invent double magnet cable clips (for inside tank)!!

I just use adhesive cable holder slightly below my mesh lid. You can't really see it unless you take off the lid and looking from top down.

The adhesive doesn’t come loose with water contact? You’re not concerned the glue will leach into the tank?

No, it's just above the water line... it seems to not get lose after a month now. It's just a tiny bit of adhesive, so hopefully no I'll effect. I think if that's a concern, Ikea has some suction mounted hook that could be used instead.

That’s what I considered, suction cup hooks. But that’s not a “clean” look either.

If you're concerned about adhesive, you could also remove that from the cable holder and super glue a suction cup to the holder.

Anyone else have suggestions? Really like the magnet idea with a low profile trough to hold the cord, anyone make something like this?
