Which size are those magfloats? The smallest ones?

Did you just use Super Glue to bind the frags to the magnets?

Yes they are the smallest magfloat but you can use up to the medium I believe. I used frag glue but super glue should work. Just beware though if you do drill holes to fit the small boston farm frag flugs into them the magnet inside is not covered by anything. That is why i put silicone inside to cover the magnet.

Good to know. I would probably just glue stuff straight onto the magnets. Now here is hoping the price is right for the smaller magfloats.

From the horses mouth, Via email that is.

"Hi Tim,

Thank you for contacting us. The plastic coating we use on our magnets is polypropylene, which is often used in the food industry. This coating should be inert in any aquarium. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best Regards,
Kevin Stayer

I should also say to those thinking of using these to mount power-heads.
Power-heads have magnetic engines, So if you get a to powerful magnet can interfere with your power-heads motor.
