how is your frag shelf set?

[Fatboy Stinger]

I want to put a frag shelf in and I have some egg crate pieces for it, but I was wondering how everyone else gets theirs to stick, magnets, suction cups or something else?

suction cups, old magfloats, old heater suction cup assemblies, rare earth magnets from (I believe) kjmagnetics. Also you can buy kitchen sink or bathroom racks with suction cups that work well

I used an old mag float, works great!

Avoid suction cups. They fail eventually. I use rare earth magnets from KJMagnetics and acrylic instead or eggcrate. The eggcrate always seemed to grow algae really bad. A 1" drill bit makes quick work of the acrylic.

It looks a little worst, but you can also use 1/2" pvc and make something to hang over the back of the tank.

Can you show how you build one? What size magnet do you use, mounting, etc?
