Does anyone have an easy way to make a frag rack? I've seen the ones made from egg crate or light diffuser, is that the way to go. Also, I'd like to make something that'll stick to the side of the tank (magnetic). Any ideas?
 
I use egg crate for mine, but I've seen people use the wet side of tunze pumps to create floating rock or rack spot. You can take rock rubble and silicon it to the mag to create a floating rock. Or similarly use a magnet then glue egg crate to it.
Hope this helps

Egg crate works great.

Cheap acrylic sheets for a big box hardware store with holes drilled in the work great

Magfloat cleaners work to affix them to. the wet side magnet of any old powerhead will also work.

You can even embed epoxy coated magnets in rock for a diy floating shelf.
