Sorry to be repetitive...magnet holder question.

Sean,
I am using the smaller set (6080) on my 180. They are plenty strong for the 6100 and Wavebox...don't know about the 6200. Probably ok if you don't point them at too much of an angle. I didn't really care for them on my Streams because they pointed down a little when mounted on the magnet, causing sand storms. The standard bracket with long screws was more adjustable.
It seems like these magnets were made for the Wavebox...they fit perfectly and are darn sturdy. I had to do a little mod on the upper magnet though. After positioning the Wavebox, the upper magnet was half on, half off the AGA trim. I remedied that by cutting a piece of 1/4" acrylic to "shim" the magnet up to the same level of the trim. So the outer upper magnet sits half on the trim and half on the acrylic piece. Can't even tell it's there and the Wavebox hasn't budged!
Hope that helps...Roger must be out Holiday shopping.

p.s. ...there's a guy in the selling forum with these magnets for $80...hurry!

...Nobody is THAT good...Let's not do the "hugging" thing with the UPS person when he/she brings all the goodies. The UPS guy that comes to my house (almost weekly) comes in every chance he gets to check out my reef. He calls it "his" reef since he delivered most of it!
Let us know how everything works out
Happy Holidays,

Sean...Looking good!
I guess you'll be up for awhile. It's a challenge to figure out how to get all the electronics mounted up nice and purdy. Especially those transformers. Can't really just screw them to a flat surface because the cords are in the way. I installed a 3/4" spacer (piece of wood) behind the transformers before I mounted them.
Have fun,
Luis

I wish I were going to be up messing with it.
But I don't have the center Island of my rockwork in my tank yet, just SPS on top of egg crate still.
Need to find the time to take the final portion of my rock out of the cooking tubs, assemble them with dowels and put in my tank.
Till then the Tunze equipment will lay RIGHT THERE mocking me!

SeanT, you're giving me some serious Tunze Stream envy! What size tank are all those pieces going into?
