Does anyone have a good solution for mounting powerheads on 1" to 1 1/4" inch acrylic? I did the math on a 2x2x2 N52 magnet, and it would have about 9-12lbs of force across that distance to an iron plate. I actually have no idea if that's enough holding force for a powerhead? Anyone else have experience with this, or nifty tricks?

Indecision may or may not be my problem.
Buy a bigger magnet 
plate style neodymium magnets have a ton of pull force and work great as long as they are not exposed to saltwater (you can also find some that are coated in nylon or rubbery stuff)

So exactly which powerheads are actually designed for tank walls as thick as 1 1/8" thick? I see the Maxspect gyre 280's will do 1.25, which admittedly is pretty good (but are sadly not controllable by an apex). Anything else? WAV's only do 1".
