Default Water Bottle In Tank?

How does everyone hang/attach water bottles in glass tanks?

I currently have a ferplast sippy (one with the suckers) but it leaks and sticks out a lot so I want to get her a new one. I was thinking about sticky back velcro but would look untidy and wouldn't be able to get it off if we needed the tank for something else.

What are the best bottles to use that don't leak? X

Pets At Home have one other than the sippy but I can't remember what it's called!! You have to buy the sucks separately though.

We have a bottle attached with self adhesive velcro which you can buy from most craft stores. Your need to use a mouse bottle though else it is too heavy and stick a whole strip round the bottle then a good bit on the tank wall.
You can also get metal hangers that clip over the edge but these don't sit well if you have a fitted tank lid. You can also get free standing holders or just hand the bottle swinging off the roof. This actually works fine! They don't chew the spout then either as they cant get a grip on it.
We hate sippy bottles! We just use the colourtone bottles and find them fine. You can actually use the sippy frame and just put an elastic band round the bottle and accross the two outside supports and it will do fine
