I have abs siliconed to the sides and back of my tank. One side has come unglued while the tank is running. It is not a tank I can drain to resilcone with out a ton of hassle (full of very large rays). Is there any other ways of gluing this back on? Tank is glass by the way.
 
not really, the only thing that would do the job you want is some hardcore epoxy but it will poison your fish...
 
If this is a large enough tank, you can spot glue it with waterproof 2 part epoxy putty (used for pool repair). Do some W/C's if your worried pollution. I've not had a problem even with sensitive critters.
 
make a small hole in the abs put some fishing line through it attached to a suction cup , stick on glass and jobs done .

What a great idea. Thank you
 
I tried and did not work... The Vortech ripped it off.

I will try the Epoxy I guess
 
bigger suction cup?
