I ordered the one size up, so it is 5/8" - 1 1/4", so with the algae scraper it is still centered at 3/4" glass. And I have a spacer to "weaken" the field. But seriously, these magnets are no joke. My other smaller ones can hurt a finger badly, these would be catastrophic.
I’ve never used the scraper attachment actually. Just the algae cutter mesh bags/socks

Got two sheets of 3/4" plywood over there now, and filled it up to 50 gallons with no noticeable flex in any bad directions.

That setup doesn’t make me very comfortable....
You could, perhaps, find a similar dimension liquid container...but that’s just me, from way over here
Fortunately not too many earthquakes in your neighborhood

What don't you like? It is sitting directly on the 4 2x6's on the plywood. Or you don't like using these black bins as water containers?

It’s the bulge in the black bin
I would recommend no more than halfway fill max

These bins are surprisingly strong. I kept 50 gallons in here before when I first moved out which is where I got the idea from. I agree filling it all the way would likely be a mistake, but it gives me a good buffer of water given how much I to use.

Rock on!
May all water be contained!

May all your waters be contained and in your full control!
And if not, it's just the garage floor and it drains down my driveway. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't forgotten about my rodi waste water line when I was pumping it into a brute can (for watering outdoor plants in the summer) and drained 15+ gallons on the floor of the garage...at least 5 different times.

Unattended water does move faster than attended water!!
That I can speak of firsthand experience…unfortunately
