Hi guys,

Just share wif u my recent work on a DIY magnet holder which using of magnet glass cleaner.

Items you need:

1. MARINA magnet glass cleaner (size: 6cm x 8 x 1.5) - $14.00 should be no problem for 12mm glass

2. BONDITE epoxy putty - $4.20

3. Sliding unit from the original holder

4. Acrylic epoxy spray paint (optional) - $4.50

5. Masking tape (to cover some area u don't need to spray) - optional

After the sliding unit has bonded on the inner piece of the magnet cleaner.

After 24 hrs to get it dry, you can use spray paint to cover the bonded marking and the sliding unit if color is not black.

End product! - total cost is about $15-$20 as compare the original tunze at $55.

Thanks for sharing, may I know whether it can support the weight of the Tunze 6000 series in 12mm glass?

never try b4, but surely no problem for 6060 and 6080, the bonding power is super.

is the spray paint safe and water proof for the fish? it sure will flake off in contact with water especially salt water.

Was already proven wif my seahorse tank setup, I even sprayed the entire back glass internally, for this, it just a very small portion.

update:

Just tested on the grip power on 10mm glass wif good result, unfortunately, it's too weak on a 12mm glass, so I changed to "Floating ZE Cleaner" (L size for 16mm glass thickness). Now no problem even on a 15mm glass, but this one cost me $23.80 after discount.

Floating ZE Cleaner (L size for 16mm glass thickness) - $28 not yet discount

bro mopiko, u r right! The paint will be slowly flaked off when time goes by, it also depends on what surface u spray on, but it will last at least 1/2 a yr in this case, and by then u might be seeing coraline algea on it.
