Rare Earth Magnets

[masterswimmer]

I'm sure with enough of them, they'd be plenty strong for an 820. However, this statement scares me: "They are also completely weatherproof." :scratch:
Weatherproof is far from waterproof..

Definitely seems like they're hedging just a bit. I agree, there is a huge difference between weatherproof and waterproof. I wouldn't be surprised if they are using the same material jh suggested. I will give them a shout out tomorrow. I'll see if they're willing to commit.

Bump for a great DIY component. They are great magnets for making a frag rack and mounting it just about anywhere in your tank you want. Opens up a LOT of possibilites for valuable unused 'real estate'.

Rare earth magnets, great for the DIY'er.

I'll be placing this order Friday. We'll need a few more 'daring' members to join in on this to make it worthwhile for shipping (not that it's expensive anyway). Come on guys, great for various projects.

Jim, Janey, still in?

Russ

If anybody else is interested, I can bring them to the swap.

 

[masterswimmer]

Ok Jim, Janey, seems interest in these magnets is limited to the three of us. I'm putting in the order this week. I'd like to do it on Wednesday. If you guys are still in I'll PM you your share plus splitting the shipping.

Please just post here on the thread that you're interested and we can go for the 25 count. I'll buy the extra ones needed. I seem to continually need them for various projects.

It's a shame nobody else wants in. They are really a great tool for mounting frag racks and powerheads. Anyway, just post and I'll follow up with you.

Thanks guys,
Russ

Hi Masterswimmer!! Im pretty new here and I like to say that this site had help me a lot. I notice the earth magnets you use in your tank and have been looking into getting some myself. I would like to get like 8 to start with. :biggrin: How much would that be with shipping?

 

[dannyl]

Ohh quick question! Would it be good to use it with my heaters. They always seem to fall of the sucksion cups.

 

[Hitsnorth]

Did they commit? :scratch:

Dean, yes they did commit. Here's his quote to me:

[Deanos]

[Deanos]

hmm those look pretty neat deanos

Yep...

 

[dannyl]

Deanos for the B666BR are those safe in the tank you think.

 

[masterswimmer]

Danny, yes they are.

 

[dannyl]

Im sorry masterswimmer, is it possible that I can change my order for the same ammount but for the B666BR. Those would be more easier to place in my tank right? :idea:

 

[Deanos]

Before you guys go switching orders, please note the pull force (lbs) is diminished about 43% with the epoxy-coated magnets.

Ditto, please check the pull force of the magnet and the associated use intended for it.

I can change it, but you might not be satisfied with the strength. LMK.

[dannyl]

[masterswimmer]

ok i'll stick with the original order.

Thanks,
Russ
