magnets

I would like to make my own frag rack. I have done many DIY projects myself however, I am pretty paranoid about magnets rusting in my tank. I am writing this post to see if anyone has any advice and actual experience of the proper way to seal magnets so they do not rust and leach into the tank...

I’m trying to make a floating rock shelf for my reef tank and I’m not sure what materials would be best. My tank is 24” L 14” W so not big but I want the entire reef elevated about 1 1/2 to 2 inches above the sand with nothing touching the sand to support it Should I use cast acrylic or...

I am looking at creating some reef-related 3d prints for my own use and for some of my friends (frag racks, algae scrapers, etc). I need to find some magnets that can be used in those prints and after doing some research have found that plastic coated neodynium magnets are the way to go. I have...

Hi guys, I've been in the hobby for 10 years and live and breath it everyday. In March I broke my leg and have been at home looking at my tank thinking of ways to subsidize my hobby and I started drawing and designing my on products. I have stickers, magnets, clothing and much more. Please visit...

Curious if anyone has experimented with trying to waterproof their powerhead magnets? Vacuum sealed? Encased in epoxy? I would really love to place my gyre magnets into my overflow compartment.

Did I find the leaching Tin culprit? Icp came back with 18 TIN reading. Huge long time bubble coral dying and clove star dying, but sps continue to thrive. 2 months ago I added a more powerful Sicce Voyager pump in the return chamber to help with precipitation problems. The Sicce came with...

Anyone have broken WAV pumps that are willing to sell the just magnets? If you have a set, please let me know, thanks!

I finally got my hands on some @PNWCustom gear! First, off I have to say the owner, operator, and designer of these acrylic tank accessories Mr. Harley Finberg is amazing to work with! Every question I had, design detail I wanted he addressed and walked me through the process. He is quick to...

I was wondering if anyone knew if the Tunze skimmer magnets that come with like the 9004 or others are submersible? I've seen a few pics of people having rusted magnets, and definitely don't want that to happen in my tank. I heard that you can use epoxy and cover it, but not sure what kind to...

I am considering making a few Frag racks to stick to the side of my tank(s). I read neodymiam were usable but shouldn't you coat them with something? If so, What? I want magnets to hold for at least 1/2 inch glass.. what size neo's are suggested?

I was looking at the MP40QD pumps x2 for my Aquabox 230.6. According to the Vortech calculator 2x MP60QD would be over powered. However I have been told by a friend that the MP40's magnets are not very strong and would struggle. The glass is 19mm thick. Anyone have suggestions or comments...

Just as the title states, what do you guys think is the best glass cleaning magnet currently on the market. If you can submit your vote and discuss briefly why you think it is the best that would be awesome. Also if you can mention about what magnets you have used in making your ultimate...

I was doing some maintenance in my tank this morning when I accidentally pushed on this probe holder. As you can see, the magnet is encased in the frame and has a glued cover to keep it sealed. I'm concerned about it's impact on the water quality. I have no idea how long it was exposed but...

I recently added a ATO to my little 13.5 Fluval. I purchased the Tunze 3152. For those that don't have one of these it comes with the two magnets that have a piece of cardboard between them. Says right on them "Warning Strong Magnets"... uh ya they are not kidding. I just had to test them...
