Magnetic frag rack

Bought this rack through facebook and not happy. The magnets are encased, but u would think it would also be encased within the plastic of the product itself. How many people would put this in their tank? Pics if the rack and the magnets used.

Use neodymium magnets. Best you can use.

Coat the exposed magnets with aquarium safe silicone? Just a thought.

That's what I was thinking. The magnets are epoxy coated, but I'm not sure how long they would last in a salt tank?

I used to make magnetic frag racks ( years ago before all the commercial ones available now ) and I used a black epoxy coated neodymium magnet 1" x 1/4" for the outside magnet. I found that over time they did rust/corrode.
Even though they were coated, the epoxy was very thin and any imperfections in the coating was where the rust would start.
