Trick to get suction cups to re-suck?

[phoenix20]

I've had a bunch of seaweed feeding clips slowly loose their "suck" on the suction cups. Anyone know of a trick to make them suck again?

Are there magnet mount seaweed clips? If so, point me to them!

I just stick some seaweed under my mag cleaner. Done.

Ever take your finger off when the mag float cleaner re-attaches?

Thats some powerful grab. I'd hate for my finger to be in the way of it.

I never take it out of the tank so I don't run into that issue. If you know how to work with them while in tank, you wont have any issues either. And until recently, I always used the cheap magfloat ones you can get form petsmart. They do a great job and don't have the magnetic force as some like the aglaefree magnavors or similar. I do have one of the phiranas now, and have no issues sticking some algae under it.
