What about my Q about the magnets on the outside deforming the magnets in my pumps, by pulling them crooked?

Jeni,
I have been using 2 of them on MJ1200s since they came out (about 3 months for me) and haven't seen any negative effects on the pumps (time may tell). The MJs are mounted even closer to the magnets as I am using the side mounts on the powerhead.
I cannot speak for the SEIOs as I no longer own any.

haven't had my M1500's on the magnets for that long, so I personally can't say whether this will happen or not.

It does make sense that this is a possibility though, doesn't it?

Jeni - I run my Tunze's with the magnets (the tunze magnets seem much more powerful than these new ones) without a problem. While it seems feesable that the magnets could cause interference with the powerhead, I have not personally seen it and I know Tunze has been making theirs for quite some time now.
I realize these are not the same magnets, but I think you would be fine with them.

The Tunze magnets are coated on both sides, basically they are a plastic frame with the magnets placed in the "arms" and then the magnets are sealed with an epoxy and covered with a plastic snap-in-place plate. I believe they are made in 2 sizes, one for the 6000/6100 stream and one for the 6200. The 6200 is a bigger pump so I would think a bigger magnet. I have them holding 6100s through 1/2 inch acrylic and they are fine.
Check with Roger in the Tunze forum. He will get you an answer in a matter of minutes if he's online or you may have to wait an hour or two. Very fast on the return time.
