TheClark Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Good question! You have a whole new world of magnetic challenges for the tub, but it is a very good problem to have indeed! This guy mounted his powerheads to the over flow. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2351228 You can also mount them on sea swirl like things possibly, although I can imagine the WP-60s breaking them LOL... http://www.fish-street.com/coral_box_auto_motion_rotation_system Another option might be a hang on acrylic bracket made of 1/4" or something, hanging over the back. Not pretty but might not be noticeable. Edited April 27, 2015 by theclark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilo Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I'm not sure the size of acrylic on my tank.. but I don't think it's a full 1 inch... maybe 3/4 and my wp60 barely stays put... I kinda keep the cord tight to help hold it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombertech Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 get some high hold weight neodynium magnets. You can house them in a piece of pvc pipe with acrylic (or PVC) glued to the ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssappington Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 What was the "N" rating on the mag you used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Oh hey Steve, I think you want 60s vs the 40s. I am doing 60s in the main tank and frag. They don't clog up and slow down like the 40s over time and you can dial em back as necessary. The RWs are supposed to be better, but I have 4 60s here so it will be a while before switching out / reinvesting. If starting from scratch the RW-20s might be a good way to go.
