Hygger Mini Magnets Submersibility

[Reefing102]

I did a quick search and couldn’t find much. I’m looking at the Hygger Mini Wavemakers for a future AIO build. Looking at Amazon review pics, it appears some have them attached to the back wall with the external magnet submerged. Can anyone confirm it’s a sealed magnet? I asked Hygger but haven’t heard back and the Amazon ad only states the controller is not submersible. If it’s not sealed that’s fine, I have some options. Just trying to plan ahead.

Not home currently but I can provide some pics of mine. Iirc the outside magnet is not sealed and can be removed from the little silicone cover thing. And then the inside magnet is sealed the the attachment part but I'll have to check again to make sure this is correct.

If they are the same as their skimmer magnets I believe so. This skimmer comes with 4 identical magnets and 2 of them are supposed to be placed on the wet side. . . leading me to believe they are all safe to be in the water. . . if that makes sense. I have 2 of them on the wet side in my AIO tank (for reasons).

As said above the magnets can come out of the suction cup and the magnet is sealed in plastic. . .

Appreciate the responses. Definitely helpful.

I just happened to have mine off my tank for maintenance tonight. Here’s a close up of the external magnet. There is a seam around the edge, I’m not sure how well it is sealed but it looks like it may be waterproof.

I have some of these as well and the magnets are sealed but a word of warning, as with all magnets make sure you inspect them often as two of mine has evidence of rust on it. It is on the wet/inner magnet, on the side that is on the glass in the rubber gasket. The first pic it is just starting and the second it is quite a large bit.. They are a great little wave maker but if I use them again I will DIY a new mounting system

The Hydor Nano, inside and outside magnets are the same. You can Swap them with no problem. I’m assuming you want to put the pump on the back wall, with the external magnet in the back chamber.

That is exactly what I’d like to do with the Hygger
