I've bought some plastic plants and a green LED light and the viv looks pretty good but the suckers come off after about 30 secs? is there anything that you can do to help these stick or is it just that they won;t stick to the wood viv or that its too warm/dry etc?

Go to B&Q and get some cable clips. The ones that clip your phone cable to the wall.

go for the clips rather than sticking them as it leaves it easier to move them or remove them to clean.

the clips have done a great job of the plants but the led light thing a mi jig in;t so good with the clips . I may see if a pin will go through the sucker to leep it in the same place otherwise it drops and the light shines at the wrong part of the viv

a blob of aquarium silicon sealant usually does the trick
