Ok, so this is the deal...I had a few fish get a little aggressive, so I pulled out the good ol Eshopps isolation boxes. I've been using these two small isolation boxes for a few weeks now with no issues. Then, out of th blue, I noticed a few of my euphilia started closing up for no apparent reason, and I could not find the culprit. Nothing had changed in the tank, other than the introduction of the boxes. So....the other day, I went to clean algae off the boxes and bam! Right there it was... I found that one of the magnets had EXPLODED!....well not exactly exploded (I know, that's a little dramatic, but I was ticked)....it was just swelled to the point where it busted open the enclosed case and exposed my tank to the magnet and rust. See attached photos. Has anyone else had this problem?

Haven't sent out for a test, but I should.
