    Yea you could use super glue if you want but that don't always work. The best way is to get a cleaned out margarine container put some rock rubble in the bottom then some egg crate on top of the container so the mushroom don't float away and in a couple days to a week it should attach itself to some of the rubble on the bottom. Hope this helps.

    There is no elevator to success in marine tanks. You have to take the stairs.

    I usually just put the container in a low flow area so the mushroom doesn't get blown out. You can also use nylon mesh or bridal veil material, available at a fabric store, over the top of the container instead.
