Care to share?

I would but I really need to adjust the wall thickness on the mag holder, I feel it's a bit thin on the sides.

I use epoxy to seal a plastic coated magnet in the holder and capped. PTEG is not always 100% waterproof, always a possibility of micro pores, enough walls and it probably would never leak. Soo with the epoxy, then a coated magnet, should be 100% safe. But you know that, I'm just rambling in case anyone else is wondering.

I just use super glue on my frag racks.

epoxy would probably hold better though. Which epoxy do you use?

I use the 2 part resin marine epoxy, but it wouldn't work in your situation. I wash all parts with dawn to make sure I remove any residue.

Epoxy putty like JB water weld can stick to it, but you would need to be sure it's good and clean. Never tried it underwater against glass though.

I know everyone says super glue is super glue, it is to an extent, but some of the cheap stuff seems to fail quickly for me.

Not sure what's good here but it'll be a while before I'm buying again. Have fun y'all.

Someone got a nice weekend. Thanks for sharing. We're you just removing the temptation or something?

Yeah, some were about to expire and the tank is a mess right now, so anything I got would die. Saved money throwing them up here.
