New Magnet Holders for Powerheads

[Raddogz]

I came across this on RC.

Kinda cool as it can fit various powerheads. No more suction cups!

I saw that the other day. Glad someone is making a better version than my DIY ones!

I just purchase 3 today from marine depot today and should have them by wednesday. I thought about DIY but with buying magnet and Acrylic cost and having to build them was not worth it. I bought the 1/2" thick glass/acyrlic magnets.

Cool let us know how they work out. Pics too if you can.

Well they will probably be installed in the tank this week end. I can possibly bring pictures or post pictures.

Interesting, still a bit pricy, adding $25-35 per powerhead. Is neat never the less.

Does anyone know if there's any study about the rubber in suction cups and if its harmful for the aquarium? I notice some of my older suction cups tend to rub off black gunk (rubber I'm guessing) when I touch them.

Pricey yes but I was sick and tired of powerheads falling and blowing sand all over every where. Who said this was a cheap hobby I
mean addiction

That looks very nice and clean. A little bit smaller than the Tunze. Does it come with different attachment so you can attach to different pumps???

 

[dswong01]

There are 4 diffrent attachments that come with this universal kit. The attachtment fits (depending on pump )seio,maxijet and tunze are all shown on the right in photo and the set of magnets are shown on the left. Above shows what comes in box when order it. Just need to order right type of magnets for thickness of glass/acrylic on your tank.
