Eshopps AEO19100 Frag Rack Colour Corner for Aquarium Water Pumps, 6-Inch

[sar]

Bought a Eshopps AEO19100 Frag Rack Colour Corner for Aquarium Water Pumps, 6-Inch but it's not holding rack up with frags. The magnets are weak and the rack are being held up with my glass cleaner. Have anyone ever drill hole and use suction cups before, along with the magnets that came with it?

I have/had the same one and the magnets are junk. They couldn't hold 10 frags with flow going around them. I had to prop up the other side on a rock. Not to mention they somehow started to rust even though it's sealed. My best advise is if you want to continue using it is to cut out the old magnets and buy new ones and use silicone to seal it completely.

Mine is not so good either. I don't think that you need to replace internal magnets, though. Just upgrade outside magnet blocks with neodymium magnets you can get cheaply online, or Tunze magnets as used for their powerheads (pricier, but excellent).

What glass thickness are you using these on?

Suction cups aren't any better as they pop off.

I make high strength magnet sets:

And racks that already have high strength magnets attached:

Just some suggestions.
