Recently bought some beautiful WWC stuff at dirt cheap and I want to make a frag rack to hang it on the glass... But not sure how to get it to hang. I bought a eshoppe corner frag rack but it's black and it provides way too much shade in the corners of my tank.

I have a massive eggcrate rack sitting in my storage that I wanna use...
 
^^^This. I used super glue to attach the egg crate myself but the zip ties would be way easier.
 
ditto. I just accumulated a couple extras over the years that I turned into frag racks and gave to friends
 
I used a magnet I had laying around from my Tunze ATO.

Hmm awesome idea I have 2 hydor wavemakers I no longer use .. won't if I can remove those magnets

Has anyone tried suction cups?
 
you can get a small acrylic sheet from home depot for under $10, enough material to make 2 racks. acrylic racks are easier to clean than egg crate.
use a propane blowtorch to make the 90 degree bend. you need to get a step drill bit to drill the holes. Just use magnets from broken powerheads, or you can get ceramic magnets from harbor freight.
