Can anyone tell me how they get coco-fiber backgrounds to stick to their tank because the velcro mine came with is not working

My Velcro failed quickly as well. I've just been kind of propping it up with logs/hides, etc. to keep it more or less against the tank wall.
Two of my crabs love to crawl behind it and sleep next to the UTH so I think they're partly to blame for the Velcro fail

Thanks, but I actually ended up sewing the velcro on after a long struggle with staples. I can't believe it said to use them in the instructions

Just a quick tip for anyone else reading this with this issue as well. My hubby and I discovered the double sided fabric tape works really well for this. It will stick to both the fiber wall and the glass. Hope this helps, since we had the same issue.

Command hooks follow the directions. You can hook the mat on the hook of commands. They come in so many sizes, styles and don't they make them for showers to?? So you would think they would be good for tanks.
