magnets- does anybody know....

[ChiCity]

... what would be a good brand to buy that i could submerse into an aio compartment?

jumped back into the hobby after a couple of years out, and i just picked up a jebao slw5 but the magnets seem weak...

and i’m also unsure if they’re even safe to keep submerged?

have my old mp10’s, but they’d look absolutely ridiculous in this little fluval evo, lol...

any help is appreciated, thank you

I have used regular magnets and had them epoxy coated

 

[ChiCity]

did you coat them yourself?
if so, how did you go about it?

They sell them coated and ceramics are safe too. I tried epoxy, but would erode away after a bit of use. Granted, I used cheap stuff I did not know what I was doing. Just trying it out.

awesome, thank you...

just google search for epoxy coated magnets?
any particular kind you have experience with that you’d recommend?

would hate to order something and they turn out weaker than what i have right now, lol

I have only used the ceramic and the ones that come with pumps. I know most people from the site have recommended the K&J and one other I cannot remember the name.

okay, sweet!

appreciate your help

Forgot to say, if I order more, those would be the ones I would use.
