Thanks Paul, from what I read about the pre-made, is they don’t look very real. I only read one review where the mag. Became a problem. So, I’m giving it a try. Tired of the GSP over growing 🤪
1. You are the Bob Vila of the reefing world - Bravo. 2. Another sonic masterclass. You have an amazing knack for picking music that fits the visuals - it is commendable. 3. What is that fish resting on your GSP at 7:35 . is that the mandarin goby? 4. There is always such drama in the videos, like when the cut coral sinks to its inevitable doom somewhere deep in your rock work when cut - Or will it survive and start growing in the dark? Who can tell! You are a storyteller along the lines of the great American story tellers - Leonard Cohen, John Cash - just with reefing stuff.
Great Vid. Thinking of doing this method too. How is the magnet doing? Been looking at some of the threads saying Neodymium Magnets does corrode and isnt reef safe. As this is epoxy sealed Im thinking it should last long.
TR question 🤔 can I put carib sea life rock in my already cycled aq. I actually just added about a pound 2 days ago and have been checking my parameters and everything is fine so far, tank is 8 months old with some Coralie building ,came naturally ...maybe from a crab I don't know but its there ,johnny 5
Hey Tom, do you know the diameter and thickness of those magnets? I cannot find them here where I live, I will have to find regular neodymium magnets and cover them with epoxy myself.
Hi Reefcrazed, I’ve had the same thing happen. Nothing lasts very long in salt water😃however, I’ve also found that the oxidation from the magnets has no I’ll effect on the inhabitants. I’ve had some for a few years👍🏻
Good morning Tom! where did you get those magnets? I bought some in Home Depot but weren't strong enough.I trying to do something similar but with egg crate but I couldn't!! 🤦♂️but your idea is waaay better!! 💪👍😎
Have a question.i got ich in my tank and killed all my fish,had 3 clown fish ,Witch isn’t much so wondering what to do? Can you have just corals and no fish?
Ich require hosts to survive. Keep it fish free for about 30-45 days. Then you can add fish again. But I might not acquire the fish where you got them before, or quarantine for 2 weeks and treat with copper based meds. 👍🏻sorry about your lose.
Sure! I have it on my 6 gallon glass. If you have coralline algae growing on the glass where you want it to grow, just super glue a piece to it. In days it will form on the glass itself. If the gsp is on a piece of live rock, try the method I just showed you. 👍🏻😊
Tom pretty cool dude. I purchased the same type of 🧲 had quite a few crack, but they are strong & the safe 4 any aquatic system. I don’t use B R,’s glue. I have used $1 store or any gel glue with cyano in the ingredients works like charm & safe also 4 any system. Tom appreciate video’s & tips keep them coming. 👍😎
Love the humor, helps the educational info sink in.
Thanks James! It’s the way I always taught teacher. Tried to make it fun 😊👍🏻
This guy is very positive in his video..Good vibes man..
I'll be watching more of his vids .
Thanks MilkSpots! 👍🏻😃
Very inspiring with the magnets and live rock, was going to purchase a pre-made one but you made this look so easy! Great Job Tom!

Awesome DIY Video Tom! Love all the music and sound effects!! I will try this out on my Waterbox 130!
Hi Peter! Thanks! 130 WB nice!

Thanks Alejandro! 👍🏻
Tom just picked up that lil mininwave. Holy smokes. What a powerful lil pump
It’s a great little pump! 👍🏻
Hi Tom. Perfect one. It is the very good idea. So the cutting section is hilarious, balltrap sound, ho men impossible to stop to laugh.
Haha! Thanks Jean😃 I’m not a very good frag cutter 😃

Got the mags on the way diff going to try it another great vid
Good to hear Zec. Thanks! 👍🏻😊
@@TOMReefer i pick up me a I.M. 25 lagoon all in one this weekend .
Great Vid. Thinking of doing this method too. How is the magnet doing? Been looking at some of the threads saying Neodymium Magnets does corrode and isnt reef safe. As this is epoxy sealed Im thinking it should last long.
Hi Miguel, the epoxy does come off, but I’ve seen no I’ll effects to the tank at all. 👍🏻
I was thinking about diy some frag racks so thanks
Cool! 👍🏻😊I have a vid on that! DIY frag rack. m.th-cam.com/video/Atu_OoA9COw/w-d-xo.html
where did you get those sized magnets?
Amazon, they are listed as Earth magnets
I know this was a while ago but do you still have those rocks? How did the magnets hold up inside the tank?
Hi CO, they held up well. Some of the epoxy came off but no I’ll effects on the corals or the tank👍🏻
@@TOMReefer that's great to hear. Are you still using them till this day?
TR Wow!!!! I want those mags. I have a hawkish he will luv his new perches I am ordering today . HOPE I DINT BREAK MY GLASS...Johnny 5
You’ll be fine, just be careful with those mags. Their really strong😃
TR question 🤔 can I put carib sea life rock in my already cycled aq. I actually just added about a pound 2 days ago and have been checking my parameters and everything is fine so far, tank is 8 months old with some Coralie building ,came naturally ...maybe from a crab I don't know but its there ,johnny 5
Super cool Tom, I have thought about doing this also. If I can find magnets like that I'm in!
Amazon not in Australia? thanks Richard.
@@TOMReefer yeah we do have Amazon in Australia but its nothing like what you have in America.
Hey Tom, do you know the diameter and thickness of those magnets? I cannot find them here where I live, I will have to find regular neodymium magnets and cover them with epoxy myself.
How are these holding up a year later? excellent video!
Hi Erik, the epoxy on the magnets inside the water did start to come off, but I saw no I’ll effects on anything in the tank. 👍🏻
Where did you get the magnets?
Amazon, their called earth magnets. Epoxy coated 1/8” thickness 👍🏻
I have tried epoxy coated and rubber coated magnets in the past and they do work for a bit, but the salt water always makes it's way in it seems.
Hi Reefcrazed, I’ve had the same thing happen. Nothing lasts very long in salt water😃however, I’ve also found that the oxidation from the magnets has no I’ll effect on the inhabitants. I’ve had some for a few years👍🏻

Hi David, Amazon. LoviMag make sure they are epoxy covered👍🏻
@@TOMReeferThank you very much Tom!
Do you sell your coral frags
@@brianperez6343 sorry, no. I’m not set up to ship. If you are local, yes
Where did you get that live rock?
Hi Daniel, I got it from a local guy in Parsippany NJ. 😊
Have a question.i got ich in my tank and killed all my fish,had 3 clown fish ,Witch isn’t much so wondering what to do? Can you have just corals and no fish?

@@TOMReefer thanks.I have one fish in there I can’t catch,what do I do?
Another great vid. I have to keep reminding myself it's TOM "Reefer" in reference to saltwater and not....well...you know :/
Haha! Thanks KAE👍🏻😃
Those magnets can be found on Amazon guys!
I wanted to try this with GSP. Anyone ever have luck with getting it to grow on the glass? Tom, thoughts?
Sure! I have it on my 6 gallon glass. If you have coralline algae growing on the glass where you want it to grow, just super glue a piece to it. In days it will form on the glass itself. If the gsp is on a piece of live rock, try the method I just showed you. 👍🏻😊
I just did his exact thing today with my frogspawns!! Coincidence, i think not! Lol
Haha😃👍🏻
Your in la ?
No, NJ 😊
I would actually use 2 part epoxy resin to encase the magnet to the rock and then completely seal it just to be safe.
Probably the safest way. 👍🏻
👍
👍🏻😃
what the hell is with the intro man, sounds like the opening to Rosanne LOL
Haha😃
First
Haha👍🏻
