Mag-Frag Plugs

Shouldn't be too bad...just means I need to get a new mold.  Another problem is that the cost of the magnets to hold for 1/2" glass are approaching the cost of a manufactured mag-frag plug.  There's not really a way I've found to get the cost down for mag-plugs for larger tanks.

How much for a just a few plain magnets? I want to attach a panel to my stand.

They're 50 cents each.  I have a ton left (yay for bulk-buys), so just let me know how many you want.

How do these do against acrylic?  Do you have any for sale?

[Reefd Up]

They work very similar on glass as they do on acrylic...the air gap is pretty close to being the same.  But, I still haven't had a chance to experiment with larger tanks yet.

So, if you have a smaller tank...here's what I can make.  I have several pre-made as well.  The cost covers the magnets, epoxy, plasti-dip coating, mold, shipping, etc. 

Small, encrusting frags (mushrooms, GSP, etc) for glass thickness 1/8" - 1/4" = $2.50 each
Medium, encrusting frags (acans, favias, etc) for glass thickness 1/8" - 1/4" = $3.00 each
Large, small SPS frags (3" or shorter) for glass thickness 1/8" - 3/8" = $3.50 each
XLarge, medium SPS frags (4" or shorter) for glass thickness 1/8" - 3/8" = $4.00 each
XXLarge, SPS colonies (4" around) for glass thickness 1/8" - 1/4" = $4.50 each

Ok, I finally have some time to work on these again.  Right now I have 1 large, 3 medium, and 2 smalls already made.  I'm making some that I believe will work on thick glass/acrylic, but we'll see.  They need a day to cure, so I'll post the results later. 

I still have a ton of magnets, so if anyone just wants some magnets for DIY projects, let me know too.  I want this stuff out of the house!  Spring cleaning!

I would be interested in just magnets

[Reefd Up]

They're $0.50 each...just let me know how many you need and when/where you want to meet.

for magnets STACK them, you are basically increasing the strength by increasing thickness. so maybe stack 2 or 3 and then put 2 or three rows of them. Will make them larger but should do the trick to use your existing supplies and make it work on thicker glass. OH and make sure to stack BOTH sides, inside the glass and out.

Hope this helps
