I dropped 400 bones on a new tank and accesories for my growing ball today. so I am sticking the new uth to the tank and accidently stick it to plastic parts of the tank. So I decide its a good idea to trim the uth with scissors.

I plugged it in and to my surprise it doesnt work(sarcasm)

so I went out and bought a new one but I can unstick the other one. the lady at the store suggested not to stick it to the tank but place it on the table underneath the tank that way if I have to move it , its no big deal.

so I am doing that now, is that the wrong thing to do? help!!
