Picked up some magnetic frag plugs and rocks to try to make better use of real estate in my tank. Pretty happy with them!

The plugs are off of ebay, the rocks I bought from aqua-mags.com (they have plugs, but were a bit pricey.)

Anyway, here are some pics if anyone is interested:

Frag plugs hold pretty tight, the rocks hold well enough, but can be easily knocked off. You could probably fix this though by adding an extra rare earth magnet to the outside (which I will try probably.)
They are all made with rare earth magnets encased in a hard epoxy
 
I recently glued a small rock (about 3x4x1 1/2 tall) to an old tunze magnet. As long as the glue doesn't come loose from the rock it will hold a pretty darned big coral.
