210 custom Oceanic brick style

wBRODEY · 04/29/2006, 09:33 PM

Hello out there!
I recently purchased a 210 Oceanic brick style tank. The glass is very thick - therefore the wonderful Mag-floats that I so rely on do not have enough oomph to always hang on through the glass. Does anyone know if there is anything out there specifically for thicker glass aquariums? or any suggestions?
Thanks,
Wyny

i know for a fact that there are some serious magnet cleaners on the market. my boss had one that would crush your hand if you put it inbetween the two halves.
marine depot has these

just do a google search on magnet cleaners and you'll find them. if your glass is thicker than 1 inch look on another site.

mag-float actually makes a magnetic cleaner that is designed for such tanks- a buddy and I have set-up several Oceanic Brick 215 in several restaurants around the area, what we are using on them is called a mag-float 500, you got to be careful with these babies, they are definetly blood blister material- best thing about these other than being huge is they float, we thought of doing magnavores, but the floating feature on the mag float is definetly a plus.

On my 215 Oceanic, I use the tiger shark magnet. Works great.

I USE A MAGNAVORE AND LOVE IT. I HAD A MAG FLOAT AND I GAVE IT AWAY AFTER I GOT THE MAGNAVORE.
