working on something right now, princess auto sells rare earth magnets for 5 bucks a pack. i think you just have to cure them in epoxy or something i have not figured out the full details as of yet.

I have also heard of what Kryptic is talking about. I think you put epoxy into a bottle cap and then the magnet and then more 2 part epoxy. I have not tried this yet, but will. You would have to wait for the first application of epoxy to at least harden a little.

i'm looking at finding out how to cure the magnets i'm assuming that leaching or rusting would occur if we just use them bare in the tank?

You cant "cure" them. You encase them in something reef safe.
