older Wavebox 6212

[Hermannsae]

I do have an older Wavebox with two holders. Unfortunately, they don't fit for my new 180gal tank.
I believe I need two magnet holders (6080.50).
Is this correct?
BTW, what is the thickness of the outside magnet?
Thanks!

What is the glass thickness? Generally you will want to use 2 6200.500 for 1/2-3/4" glass. Up to 1/2" 2 6080.500. Either magnet holder is the same thickness, they vary only in the amount of magnet material inside. They are 5/8" thick.

The glass thickness is approx. 3/4”
Thank you Roger. Appreciated!

If you are not in a real hurry, the 6200.500 price will come down in a few months, the prices skyrocketed last year and were up 600% on the neodymium, that has fallen, though still high, by July the prices should be down about 15%.

Thanks for the info! Yes, they are expensive!
I found some magnets on sale. The last two.

After running the wave box for a while it is almost dead-quiet.
Kind of like it! :beer:
