Is that the one?

No, that tape stuff doesnt work because when you start plugging things into the powerstrip it gets super heave and will pull it off. Trust me, i tried this.

I would put two little screws into the stand and just hang the powerstrip off of the screws.

I would do the screw thing but the problem is that my power strip doesnt have any hole to hang it on and if i do it without holes then the strip will just flip upside down

Velcro :) not 100% sure it would hold though lol

I agree with velcro. The velcro from the hardware store is pretty heavy duty.

No mandarin that is the 2lb mounting tape, they make 15lb mounting tape that is wicked strong. Screws are always better but you didn't want to do that.

[poksal]

then do the self stick Velcro...

 

[little_fish]

Are you trying not to damage the stand with this this? Because putting on any of that sticky stuff is going to very extremely hard to get off without damage.

 

[poksal]

What is the stand made of? Stick the Velcro to the lower back side of the tank or filter. Then when you need to remove it you can clean off the sticky with alcohol.

 

[Mandarin66]

It just made of wood but dunno what type of wood but i could just clean off the stickyness with GooGone
