encideought December 26, 2009 Share December 26, 2009 I was hoping to mount some small frags on the back wall of my tank with magnets, but I'd rather not buy mag-rocks if I don't have to. Is there an "easy" DIY way to get saltwater safe magnets? Thanks, Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaesun December 27, 2009 Share December 27, 2009 for the cheapest solution, you might want to try petco for heater suction cups. 2 for $1 or $2.50. check the scan codes, because I picked up a few and had 2 different prices for near identical items. works nicely for reef plugs since I only wanted a few frags up on the back and side walls but not enough room for a rack. I've had a few accidents with my pink stylophora, so I glued a few of the bits to reef plugs. Anyone interested? Haven't totally encrusted yet, so I haven't offered them yet.

Noobalicious December 27, 2009 Share December 27, 2009 have been using plastic coated Neodymium magnets that I ordered from http://www.kjmagnetics.com/products.asp?cat=164 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtipower December 27, 2009 Share December 27, 2009 If you have room for a rack, a mag-float (med) and some egg crate superglued to it works great for me. The magfloat is strong enough to support a big size rack. If you're looking for a smaller rack maybe the smaller size mag-float would be ok. But it depends on the thickness of your tank as well.

encideought December 28, 2009 Author Share December 28, 2009 Cool, Thanks for the tips. I want to try getting some soft polyps to grow along my back wall, so I think I'm going to try the flatter magnet option and see how it goes. Thanks! Happy Holidays!
