magnet

Just made a really stupid mistake when setting up my brand new IM 170. I added a Maxspect Gyre and now want to change is location, but I cannot get the outside magnet off of the glass because I removed the plastic over the adhesive! This adhesive is no joke! Who knows how to get this thing off...

Any suggestion for magnets to hold a frag rack through the glass? maybe a link where to buy it. I bought these racks from amazon and it came with suction caps. I think if i use a magnet it should hold stronger and can last longer. Thank you

Hello I have a Sicce Ultrazero pump and an Algae Free Hammerhead Float Plus magnetic algae scraper for sale. I would prefer to sell them together. The magnet was removed from the tank and patted dry after each use and was in use for approximately 3 months. The Ultrazero pump has been used 2-3...

I’m surfing on Instagram these days. I had seen someone design a special plastic photo studio for coral inside the tank. ● Its color is black to reduce light reflection. ● It is a magnet device that could easily move the location on the glass. ● It has a hole that could easily place our frag...

Why are magnets bad for the reef tank? I have read many threads where individuals blame magnets for all kinds of misery. I am getting ready to make some magnetic accessories for my tank but I want to be prepared for my consequences if I fail to adequately protect them from poisoning my tank...

Hi found some magnets I can use for a floating rock and they are covered in eproxy… This is what is used….Araldite/Loctite….. is it reef safe? thanks

Have an algae free great white cleaner magnet that’s 5-10 years old. Noticed the covering encasing the inside magnet has a good sized crack and the metal inside appears rusted. The magnet works well. Kudos to algae free! Any idea if the metals are toxic to sps/lps coral? Triton testing done...

I put my gyre in a tub full of water and some white vinegar to clean the bin and gyre, and now after I took it out it looks like this in my pic. It looks like the magnet cover is peeling off and the glue underneath is showing. I left it in the bin mixing for 24 hours. Could I clean that off and...

Hello, I have a Maxspect Jump 2K for my 4x2x1ft tank. I wanted to have it at the end of the tank blowing towards the overflow, but the lighting support is in the way: The only way I can think of to fix this is to get stronger magnets. The tank is 3/4" acrylic and the magnet that the pump...

Hi reefers, does anyone know what material is used to prevent magnets from slipping? I 3D printed a magnetic probe holder and the magnets will stay together but they will slip across the glass surface. It seems that most manufacturers (Neptune, AI, Ecotech) use a neoprene-like surface on both...

I am having huge problems in my tank as of recent and am trying to figure this out and rule it out as a problem. I have a Tunze 9001 in my Waterbox Cube 20. The only way to use this skimmer is to put the skimmer facing sideways and the magnet is being submerged in the water. I was wondering if...

Usually I buy a cheap Magfloat scraper for my tanks, however I want to get a nicer one this time around. Algae Free vs Flipper... Aside from looks, Is there any advantage to one over the other?

Hey all! My hubby and I recently purchased a 3D printer and I am looking into printing out some magnetic frag racks for my tank and possibly for other hobbyists! My only issue is that I don’t know what kind of magnets to buy. I assume neodymium magnets because they’re very strong, but they are...

Anyone have experience building these? Planning on making a floating island for the fast growing soft corals (GSP and Xenia). I've seen a couple threads but they dont go too far into the setup. From what I have seen you need rare earth magnets. Curious how to make them so they don't scratch...

I know there are some threads about this, ppl mentioned using epoxy, can we use any epoxy? (I've never used it before) I currently have these magnets and this epoxy, would both of these be safe to use? Do I use use the epoxy onto the magnets and then glue it onto the rocks/frags I want to use...

Ive seen multiple people mount maxispect gyres seemingly on their overflow but it may be on the back glass regardless, I'm researching a tank upgrade and the tank has a rear ato reservoir built in behind the tank. Would it be safe to mount a gyre xf330 on the back pane where the dry side would...
