To offer some experience on the other side of the fence:

I had a Tunze nanostream pump that developed a defect in the epoxy covering the magnet unbeknownst to me and it swelled and disintegrated in my tank, leaching rust into the tank.

Thanks for the replies.
I guess I should/could coat the magnet with silicone or epoxy.
