I need strong reef safe magnets

[Miami Reef]

They are going to hold an acrylic sheet inside my tank. They need to be strong and one side will be inside the tank. They need to be really strong because my acrylic is thick.

Help please.

Yep! That is the stuff! I have their algae magnet and had to buy a spacer because I purchased too much magnet!

I didn’t specify. I need a magnet just to hold something to my back wall. I have a black background acrylic that I need to attach to my tank from the inside. I need something small, discreet, and strong.

If you get super magnets you will need to seal them so they don't rust.

How do you seal them?

How do you seal them?

Reef safe adhesive, silicone, cyanoacrylate or other glue.

Oh. That sounds really easy!

I would cover all sides while dry and carefully check the coverage before dropping them into the tank, and include a close inspection as part of regular maintenance.

I got a question: would 100% reef safe acrylic paint also seal the magnets?

I would think so

 

[Miami Reef]

I would think so

That’s awesome. It’s going to blend perfectly. I’ll be sure to use extra coats. I really appreciate your quick responses.
