Default Magnets

Anyone know of magnets that one can use to attach a frag to and place on glass of your tank?

I don't know where to get them, but Bruce at Sea Critter's Depot has some frags on the glass of his display tank that are held up by magnets. Kinda like how a Koralia powerhead is held up... Pretty cool looking... You could PM him, and he could probably help you out...

These would be fairly easy for me to DIY in the shop. I'd just need enough folks who wanted them to cover the cost of buying the right marine epoxy and a stash of small neodymium magnets. Otherwise it would be a piece of cake.

My main purpose would be to attack a single frag to a magnet to see if I can get the frag to grow on the wall. Frag rack would be nice also.

I have heard stories where depending on the magnet it leaches bad stuff into the water and will cause harm to ones tank.
That is my main concern
