Magnets to hold powerheads...

[fishgeek01]

I know this has been gone over a hundred times, but I keep getting asked so I figured I would post this question, what kind of magnets are people using to get their powerheads to hang, and where and how much...?

 

[moneyman]

I use 'Algae Free Sure Grip'. It is around $25.

I have the Koralias. They work great. Can get them from the doctors around $40 depending on which one you buy. They are great and have a wide flow. I LOVE them. I have two #3s in my 125 tank (850 gph).

I use Epoxy coated Neodymium for about $5 apiece at Gaussboys.

 

[fishgeek01]

do you coat them with the epoxy or do they come like that

 

[renogaw]

they come epoxy covered and are AWESOME.

Has anyone used them on RIO pumps? Will it hurt the performance of the PH?

 

[renogaw]

not sure on the RIO's, but i've had them on my maxi's for weeks now and there hasn't been an issue. that's one of the things i was concerned about btw.

I have coralias on my 210 and i like them...alot better than spending 100's on a tunze but i do hear the tunze's are very nice!

Another thumbs up for the gaussboys magnets. I got enough for 3 PHs and my grand total with shipping & tax was like 31.00.

How do you get the gaussboys magnets to hold your powerheads? :notsure:

I agree, doesn't make much sense spending that much money, plus the magnets on the Koralias are fantastic!

I used the gaussboys magnets with maxijet pump. I used the super glue gel (the one with cyano or whatever the name was). and glued the magnet to the the part that slides onto the PH. Worked like a charm. Has been about 3 weeks so far and still holding. It hasnt been mentioned yet but if you go with the gaussboy magnets be very very careful because they are super powerful. You can easily hurt yourself or break the glass on your tank.

My new korolias came with the magnet.
