Magnetic Rocks

[DracoKat]

hey all,

I am looking into getting some magnetic rocks to mount on the back of my glass. I looked at DIY and I do not trust myself to make it properly. knowing me, it'd break and fall or happen to get the wrong magnets.

Can someone suggest some good magnetic rocks of different sizes?

I saw Aqua-mags and they look nice (I may get the 2-pack at least to try to grow zoas on my overflow)
How are Aqua-mags? Any better, yet not too expensive options?

Might want to look at The Alternative Reef, they are a sponsor on R2R. ;)

thank you. They are considerably more expensive than Aqua-mag.. but quality and material may be key here

Alternative Reef and Aqua Mags. I use both and they are very good. I'm using more of the Aqua Mags and they are pretty solid. I use the single and shelf mounts.

Don't give up on the DIY magnetic rock just yet.
I didn't like to appearance of the commercially available rocks so I made my own. I documented the process with a short build thread on my local club forum. You can find that thread with this link.

Here's a side-by-side shot of my Pukani shelf rock next to a commercial rock; huge difference!

I saw your thread and it's what inspired me to get some magnetic rocks. It's awesome!

Then I also thought, corals is going to be covering most of it along with algae and coraline so I really don't care too much about colors.

@jlanger Willing to make some for me and I'll pay you?
