Tunze Skimmer Magnets

Reefer37 · Feb 7, 2020

I was wondering if anyone knew if the Tunze skimmer magnets that come with like the 9004 or others are submersible? I've seen a few pics of people having rusted magnets, and definitely don't want that to happen in my tank.
I heard that you can use epoxy and cover it, but not sure what kind to use or whatnot
Any recommendations or help would be appreciated!

The magnets are submersible, it can depend on how old the skimmer is I truly believe that a 9004 is just fine.

Well it looks like this, so I'm guessing I'm gonna need to cover the actual magnet. Anybody have recommendations on what epoxy to use?

https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/tunze.461/ I would check out this site and ask Roger your question on Monday, which is the latest Gen magnet and they do not need to be covered. It could be what you are hearing is the magnet is attracting rust that is already in the tank say like GFO.
