    Default DIY mesh background

    I'm looking to buy some suction cups, I just don't know where to buy them... I'm trying to make a moss background for my freshwater aquarium.

    i use a lot of suction cups for dividers. The dollar store ones aren't that great, they lose their suction pretty quickly. The best ones are the ones made by fluval or aquaclear, it's the ones they use for their filters. It's kind of pricy at 4 for 5 bucks or so, but they'll last and they're strong
