sealed mags

[wetbehindears]

I'm running out of room in my sand bed for frags so its time to set up a frag tank inline w my system.

I want to use magnets so the rack can stay off of the glass bottom I don't want to have to use magfloats so please anyone have any local luck finding sealed magnets that would be strong enough to hold a rack loaded w frags on a thicker glass tank ( frag tank110-125gallons)

Thanks

I've used epoxy coated geo magnets, and everyone has broken down becoming rusted; many rare earth magnets are made with a copper core. If you use them I recommend sealing them yourself in a thick epoxy. They also coat them in a rubber which may be better suited to the salt water, but may also have its own problems?

I have been using epoxy coated magnets for a while, they work great. Might have some to spare.

These are the magnets I got along with a few guys from Fingerlakes. You can also get different sizes from them.
