[William Lutman]

So I keep looking at the fancy and expensive like these

Here is my DIY on the cheap

Cut a $8 table rock down to size with the tile saw I bought

Magnets from K& J Magnets ~ $16

Little epoxy and superglue

And instant background (and surface area for nitrification bugs)

An yes I bet I can mount that mid tank without it moving in larger tank

Nice. Similar to what I did with my agrocrete. Just poured it out flat, roughed up the surface, and used JB weld to adhere it to the glass.
