Acrylic Sump Heater Question

[chiefifd]

Hello all.....
I'm looking at an Acrylic Sump for my tank build. Is anyone concerned about the heater/heaters being in contact with the acrylic? We all know the suction cups that come with the heaters only work for a short time (My experience anyway). What do you use to secure the heater/heaters? Maybe I'm being too cautious.
Thanks for looking.;Nailbiting

Actually, the JBJ True Temp Titanium heater comes with a plastic guard and uses magnets to hold it to the side of the sump/tank.

I use a zen reef magnetic heater holder. I got it from BRS.

Guess I've never checked for magnetic heater holders. Has anyone done a DIY holder? Looking for options.
Thanks samnaz

Thanks for sharing samnaz!
This is exactly what I was looking for, I'm so glad I asked the question. And a super kudos to Flippers4pups for his genius.
I'll be getting busy with some PVC and glue.
