Wet Acrylic frag racks, rubble boxes etc.. rusting magnets?

[Europhyllia]

awww. man. I loved my rubble boxes/feedingstations/macro plugs. Keeping my fingers crossed before I dive in for inspection... lol

The solution is a thicker plastic coated magnets... the problem is finding them large enough with the coating without changing the design and hole sizes.

We rolled out a ton of Wet Acrylic products using the thicker plastic coated magnets for the wet sides but the problem was that they were too small and not strong enough for most tanks.

I have an overseas supplier that can custom make 1/2" x 1/2" thick black plastic coated magnets however it takes months and months to get anything from them.

I was hoping to get those in to supply a longterm solution for everyone but it's looking like I may have to just order within the states and provide the replacements of the same magnets used before.

Thanks for everyone's patience and understanding.

AS A REMINDER... *the wet side magnets can and will rust if the black coating is scraped in anyway... do not use if you see silver at all*

I have pretty much given up hope on the overseas supplier. Today I started looking at local options and to my surprise EVERYONE is out of stock on the 1/2" x 1/2" Neodymium epoxy coated magnets.

I did however find 1/2" x 5/8" epoxy coated magnets but they aren't cheap and if I do get these as replacements I'm not responsible for broken fingers or glass. :0

Chris is this the size your custom corner racks have?

We have decided to start Wet Acrylic back up and have solved the rust issue. Our new wet sides will be encased in acrylic and are stronger. We have decided to offer $10 off the purchase of new racks and rubble boxes which is more than the cost of the magnets that rusted. Turn your rack in for $10 credit towards a new rack.
