Squirt Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi I'm after some stronger magnets for my basking dock. It's struggling with 6mm glass, so I'm after two stronger permanent magnets. In theory when you double up a permanent magnet it becomes stronger? Yeah anyway after two, able to go through 10mm glass.

Zayne Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 try looking for Neodymium Magnets, whats the weight of the dock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepsnana Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I use door magnets to hold my tank "shell" together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 The dock floats, but the magnets hold it against the glass, and stop it from wobbling too much when he gets on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkLB Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 There are several sellers on TM. 'dangerousmagnet' and 'magneticmagnets' would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yeah I saw them too. But I much prefer to "try" the magnets before hand. To see if they actually are strong enough. So preferably in Wellington. But I don't want it so strong it doesn't adjust to the water level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zayne Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 ........So? :thup: then he wouldn't be able to attach them to the tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 then he wouldn't be able to attach them to the tank He should be fine....Let's see...He'd need 2 fingers remaining so he'd have to screw it up 8 times in a row before that becomes a problem.

Vinnie Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Don't know if it would suit for the job but you could pull a part a few old car stereo speakers - like 6x9's, they have some strong magnets in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirt Posted February 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Cheers for the idea, but I have no old car speakers or speakers really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
