RedSea 750 and Orphek mounts

I am trying to use mounting arms to mount 2 Orphek Atlantik V4 GEN2 to my Red Sea Reefer 750 XXL. The problem I am having is the glass is to think for the mount with the shims in it. They give you two thin glass guards and four thick. I can make the mount work if I use two thin guards, but...

I would put the Tunze 6125 in my newly set up 30-gallon tank. I need more flow.

mrgster5 · Feb 6, 2021

So far I clean my glass with a mag glass cleaner, but it's a new tank so I haven't had to use it much yet.

Second prize: A Tunze Strong+ Care Magnet (Valued at $94.99)

Care Magnet Strong+

Care Magnet Strong+ - for 20 mm up to a glass thickness of 25 mm (¾" - 1").
Width: 86 mm (3.4"), length: 140 mm (5.5")
Including a stainless steel blade and two spare plastic blades.

Features

Care Magnet — Care for your aquarium
The Care Magnet concept was the signature innovation of 2014 in the field of window pane cleaner design, which is comprised of an ergonomic handle and special plastic blades made of wear-resistant high performance plastic.

Why care?
This glass pane cleaner avoids scratches on internal aquarium glass panes, and can therefor even be used on acrylic glass panes with the small plastic blade.
The inner magnet is more than 3 mm (.2") away from the aquarium and thus prevents the jamming of the aquarium sand. The two plastic blades remove the algae considerably better from the glass panes than a flat cleaning surface – almost as good as a sharp metal blade. The life of a blade is from several months up to approx. one year. The low flow resistance during the cleaning with a simultaneous high magnetic coupling, makes a separation of the magnet nearly impossible.
The large blade should only be modified with the included stainless steel blade for aquarium glass panes with particularly tough algae, e.g. older deposits on the side walls or thick calcareous algae.

The patented principle, which uses plastic blades with a different length, creates a varying application pressure, enabling the narrow blade to remove even tightly attached algae. With the wide blade, it is possible to perform a large-scale algae removal.

Thanks to its slim design, the plants and the corals will not be disturbed.

The Care Magnet can also be used on round aquarium panes or round-arched panes.

Plastic blades with round edges enable a smooth transition to the next pane at the aquarium edges without damaging the silicone joints.

It doesn't distribute the algae within the aquarium as a green dust; it rather roles them up completely, and through this turns the algae film into actual food for the fish.

It can also be used as a hand scraper.

I would use this hardcore magnet to properly clean my tank no more using blades barehand to clean the tank. And the flow from that turbelle would give my SPS that breath of freshwater! I could also use this stuff if I decide to become a spy. Use the magnet to walk up an evil fortress then Strap on the the turbelle to jump into the ocean and scoot away!!!!

Weird, the forum is showing your posts with times of 'Today at 12:33 AM' and 'Today at 12:35 AM'.

Maybe it's just a time zone display issue or something and you're posts will count. Fingers crossed.

Jax Racks filter sock/media cup holder problem

I purchased a baffle kit from Jax Racks with the agreement that it would hold BRS media cups. BRS website measurements were provided. The holes are too large. After being promised several times, I have not received acrylic rings to take care of the problem. Can anyone suggest a solution?
