What magnets do you guys use in your aquarium. Guys at the acrylic shop gave me some extra acrylic to practice with. Going to diy a frag rack. Want a magnetic one.

Thanks in advance!

I have bought a few magnets from here http://www.kjmagnetics.com/products.asp?cat=164

as well as these from BRS but I dont recommend for heavier frag racks or full frag racks http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/oceans-wonders-n52-v2-mag-rack-replacement-magnets-1.html

+1 on KJ magnets. I have used their rubber coated ones and they work great. http://www.magnetsource.com is out of Castle Rock and they are good too.

Just make sure they are ferromagnetic magnets. The coating that they put on any of them will eventually break down and when it does, iron based magnets will essentially just leach the equivalent of GFO into your tank, which wont damage your inhabitants in small quantities. Stay away from the rare earth magnets as these metals can be extremely toxic to all marine life when corroded with extremely small concentrations.
