Power heads brackets

[steve-s]

Just noticed these on my LFS's website. Anyone used them before?

Super Grips

Those are cool.
Bet if the magnets are strong enough they work great.

Good idea but $35 is pretty damn steep for a powerhead bracket.

Steve: I just installed 2 of these (same model) on my 2 Seio 1100's. They work awesome...the magnets are extremely strong. I have 3/8" acryllic, and they are so strong that I cannot move the mount without either taking the outside magnet off, or sliding both the inside & outside together. At 1st I tried to position it by moving the inside only, but it wouldn't budge at all! I have no doubt my powerheads are securely fastened!

HTH,

Rob

$35 is pretty steep for some magnets but...............:lol:
if they work good and fill the need then it's worth it.

I'd buy it.

Very true but if I never have to use a $%&$!*#@% suction cup again, I'll be very happy. Aside from that, I'm too lazy to DIY it myself.

I've seen those too. I'll be ordering some here soon.

Tomini tang likes pooping in the corners, behind rocks, where its tough to siphon out. SUction cups invariably fail quickly.

I think it is DIY time. Use the existing brackets and zip-tie some plastic coated magnets on them. Thanks for the link.

I too can't stand suction cups for mounting purposes. I dont' have a closed loop so i have to use powerheads. I am in the middle of modding my maxi jets. I also just ordered some neodymium magnets to diy myself some sweet mounts. I got some that are plastic coated and will hold up to 5+ lbs. I Don't know how the 1/4 inch glass will affect the holding capacity, but i'll shortly find out when they arrive. I'd be happy to report my findings if anyones interested. The magnests i got are extremely cheap...in fact i got a bunch for a fraction of what one of those mounts steve linked at the top cost.

My acrylic is 1" thick so I doubt they would help me.
