Thanks Diana, I had run across kjmagnetics in my search and am thinking those might be the way to go.

Anyone know of a place that I might be able to find magnets here in San Diego?

Am I gonna be stuck ordering these online?

what are you using to bend the acrylic so clean ? I can never get an edge that tight although that is only 6inch's long but still it sucks to do unless you have a fold table. Anyways very nicely done

It depends on size and type of magnet, the 10 hole versions were purchased for $15.00.

Have you tried filling any with frags to test the strength/holding power of the magnets? I am interested in a couple of your racks. Will they work in tanks with 1/2 to 3/4 inch glass? LMK, I'm very interested. Beautiful job btw!

You should come to the NCMRAS frag swap on Saturday. You could probably sell a lot of them.:)

I think that the smaller racks may work with thick glass, but I'd be weary ;). Anything even slightly larger will need stronger magnets, which are available at k & j magnets.

All of the racks that I have made so far have been sold, I'm definitely willing to make more, but I'll need to order some more magnets :).

That was quick you used all your magnets already!!!...if you dont wanna wait to put another order together you can borrow mine im being lazy:spam:..then just return them when you order again.

I get the acrylic from SD Plastics and/or Ridout. I usually get whatever 1/4" clear acrylic they have in the scrap bins. However I have a lot of 1/4" clear acrylcast scraps left over from recent acrylic projects I've been working on, so I've been using that.
