Check this out: "Mag Racks"

I'm very seriously considering buying one of these. Or maybe at least buying a handful of neodymium magnets off of ebay, epoxying them, and giving it a try myself.

I think these could possibly be a GREAT addition for me as I have hardly any room in my tank!

cee uses something similar to the coral cradle that wedges perfectly into eggcrate. I believe it is some sort of "standard" type product for another industry and they are probably really inexpensive.

get a mag float the 125 gallon size and glue on egg crate much easier and more sturdy to work with

I thought about that. Then everything could be local, too. Only thing is... I really like the way his mag racks look!

i like the black eggcrate i might have to order some

 

[NeveSSL]

I do too. Let me know if you find a source.

I've been very tempted just to get some neodymium magnets off of eBay, paint them and the egg crate with like 4 or 5 coats of black epoxy, and just see what I can do with them.

I bought this rack a while back:

Same basic idea. The only problem is with the square magnets. They don't seem very stable, and can easily "flip" over when jostled, sending the rack over and the frags to the bottom of the tank. I like the design of your rack better, as I think the flat round magnets would be more stable. I'll see if I can't get a picture up in the morning.

The guy who makes the one I linked first has a good solution to stabilize them a bit that can be found here: http://www.mag-racks.com/diystabilizer.htm

A good idea that would work with just about any of these.
