Ceramic is fine and will not leech anything. It's the rare earth magnets, or steel magnets you want to avoid or coat with something.

What are you wanting to use the magnet for?

 

[Buck commander]

Glue a hammer coral to the magnet put it on back glass. Stinging other corals.

Some rare earth mag. Come coated

So should be safe in the aquarium with fish and corals ?

Bump because I’d like to keep this discussion going. I’ve been really curious about how to use magnets to mount stuff on the back wall

Who doesn’t love playing with magnets? I do. Magnets are very handy for attaching equipment to our tanks – frag racks, probe holders, float switches, filter sock holders, small skimmers…etc. How do you know if the magnets you’re using are “reef-safe”? I’m going to break down the two main types...

I’ve experimented with ferrite/ceramic magnets and they just aren’t powerful enough to hold much through the tank wall. Really have to use neo magnets. In my case, I use sealed N52 magnets. Not cheap though, particularly for stronger pull.
