I recently bought a magnavore 6 for my aquarium and it still doesnt do a very good job. I dont really want to spend 200.00 dollars on another magnet so im wondering how hard it would be to make my own? What size of magnets would I need etc. If you have experience please help me out. My tank is acrylic with 3/4 inch thick walls. Thanks in advance
 
Acrylic = Too dangerous for the Magnavore. I used one for a while and I wish I never started. I've been using an old credit card and it's been great!
 
ohh thanks I never thought about that. Yeah I agree with the magnavore. it is now a really expesive frag rack magnet :). As for the credit card method im not sure how well it will work with my tank. Theres spots that I cant reach. What do you do with those spots?
