Another "which magnet for my 6000"

[bigdee65]

Hey Roger,

I picked up a 6000 and single controller some time ago for a reef tank I was setting up but plans fell through and I decided to put the stream on my 135g FOWLR which has been set up for some time now.

Anyway I am unable to mount the stream using the brackets provided due to the tank thickness and trimming around the top. The tank is a 18 year old Perfecto tank (I believe) and the glass is a little thicker than 1/2" but not quite 3/4".

My question is what magnet holder should I get for this tank? I know the smaller one is good up to 1/2" but my glass is a little bigger than that. Plus I can't seem to find a smaller magnet in stock so would the larger one do the job or would I have to worry about breaking the glass on the tank?

thanks for the help!

I would get the 6200.50.

The included bracket should work with the longer stainless steel screws.

Thanks Roger, thats what I thought.

The included bracket should work with the longer stainless steel screws.

The problem is the tank is so old that it has this crazy plastic molding around the tank and it doesn't allow the bracket to have a lot of surface area contact. At best I can get it to stay in place but once I put the stream on it starts to move around. I don't mind getting the magnet as it will allow my tank cover to sit flush once again.

Thanks for your help :thumbsup:
