Sorry for the late reply, it's been a busy week...

but can you support them in tank as well? Because the magnet holds the wetside to the tank wall too.

Of course you can test it right now, just get a 1" thick piece of wood (actual 1" thick not 1 by material) and see if the impeller will spin. Of course there will be a lot more resistance in the water but if it can't do it in air, there's no way it's doing it in water.
