    I don't know why you say the camera stinks, pics are real sharp and clear. I would look into a phosphate reactor. I see on the side glass a lot of Green hair algae and some starting on the rock. Over feeding? Flakes? Phosphate is present. Are the lights new? I don't want to be a "downer" just trying to alert you to potential big head ache soon.

    Hey dude no worries
    um not hair algae um its like a slim kind of algae is this hair algae i havnt heard of slimmy hair algae???? and then main reason for algae is that by bi colour angel wasnt eating prepared foods so let algae grow to give him a source of food....but very happy at this momnent as my angel ate flake and dried shrimp last night and today, so i will be getting rid of most of the algae. and yes there are phosphates present - working on it. Nope lights are not new and not over feeding...thanks for the heads up;)

    super glue gel is better IME as its less runny ( cant spell viscos?)
    also reef putty would hold the matt to the rock

    but the bands should work IMO
