I have a seio powerhead and a couple of mjs hanging on by suction cups. I have a Tunze with a magnet attachment and was wondering if anyone has any idea on how to make a magnet attachment for my other powerheads. The tank is just recovering form a sand storm that occurred by the seio taking a dive into the sand bed. Ofcourse, this happenned while we were away for the weekend :mad:

Any help is always appreciated.

If you just go buy a magfloat for each powerhead, you can use crazy glue and glue the bracket to the inside part of the magnet and use the outside part to hold it. I did that and its held on for about 2 months now.

That is what I do for For Rios and Maxi Jets (with epoxy, though).

For Seios, I buy the ones made for them, from this link:

They have bigger ones for larger Seios, too.
