Fish I bought rare earth magnets at Lee Valley. I was afraid to walk past the counters on the way out, thinking I'd be covered in metal stuff......

I think they might be just the ticket, thanks!

Yeah, they're STRONG. I have a 3/4" one on each of my hood doors to hold them up.

Just be sure you dont accidently lump them all together, or else you'll be HOOPED when you try to separate them :P

Well, based on you folks' experience, I stopped by Lee Valley today and picked up 10 rare earth magnets. I just went with the 1/2" diameter and even then I am worried they might be too strong!
I am just using some gorilla glue to attach them to the top of the eggcrate screens. It says that I should clamp them when glueing, and I didn't, so I guess we will see how it goes....

Because I bought 10, they were $0.86 each. The larger sizes are more. They look like a stack of watch batteries stuck together.

I stopped by Gold aquariums today and met with Albert. He is doing up a quote for me but here is a quick sketch that I did in mspaint. Please use your imagination, it should turn out better than this... oh man, I hope it turns out better than this .
Also excuse my stocking list. All I could afford was three, uh, m&m's?

Default Whoops
I just realized, should this thread be in "Tank Journal" instead of here in Reef?

Any mods able to help me out with that?

As a general rule, m&m's are reefsafe; however, larger specimins have been known to cause trouble as they grow
Thanks for moving the thread.
