so i bought this 5x5 piece of cork bark today and wanted to stick it in the corner in my 29gallon tank. I was wondering if anyone knows whats the most effective way to stick it on. i dont really wanna clutter my tank with pvc piping.

I don't have any experience with it, but what I've heard people do is just cut it to exactly the right size, and friction fit it into the glass.

Maybe someone who has used it will post with some more suggestions :)

This one was pretty cool. It's attaches to the tank wall with suckers:

I suppose you could drill holes in it and attach it with suction cups like it were a regular floating dock if it's too small to simply wedge in.
