My 150g sps crashed when my motor block on my tunze wave box cracked and rust. I wonder if you had anything died

The Two Little Fishies Veggie Mag Clip are also notorious for rusting! So keep an eye on all those magnet accessories! All this crap is probably mass produced in China.

Lots of companies getting stuff made cheap, someone ends up paying for it.

I had an Algae Free magnet do that to me too.

Honestly, I've heard of people talk about rare earth magnets that don't rust... but seriously how many companies if any actually use those? Few to no one from what it look like.

I will just avoid as many magnets as possible. Frag racks with brackets and no magnets, same with probe holders, etc. Besides a couple of pumps, no other magnets.

I think this is the best practices we can/should follow. It would mean just planning builds with this in mind.

Those apex probe holders are notorious for that. Contact Neptune systems and get them to send you a new one. Bad quality

Will they even give you a new one, even if it's out of warranty?

Thanks to this post I looked at my corals today and I noticed my couple of sps had white bleach spots and a couple of Lps looked all deflated spots checked. F'n IM defroster had rusted and that what lead to my glass having random rust marks.
