Hello Nano-Reefers! I wanted to share my invention with you guys...

A little history first: I started making Mag-Racks for locals only on www.sdreefs.com. The thread can be found HERE. It's been almost a year now since I've been making them and I would like to share it with the members of www.nano-reef.com ... Basically, I was tired of having nowhere to grow out and place my frags. Several people make their own magnetic racks with Mag-Floats and superglue the contraption together, but I wanted something more presentable and clean-cut (also something not so space demanding).

The end result was the "mag-rack" ... These are my "2nd generation" models and are made of 100% black egg-crate, attached to a high grade neodymium magnet via clear casting resin. They are designed to hold different frag-plugs and hold well for most tanks with glass thinner than 1/2". They have been time tested in numerous tanks and are 100% safe to use underwater in reef aquaria.



If interested, please visit my website for more pics, info on sizes, dimensions, and prices! Thanks

Wow, those are awesome.

too bad you don't ship to Canada. could you?

D,

You have black eggcrate now? I need another rack!

Cool, just ordered a lg rack (hehe) from you.

Those are NICE! I'm going to have to order one soon!

OK, I'm getting some errors on the site with it not calculating the correct shipping.

I'm going to partially refund some of you who've placed orders. For now, I'm going to take these "off" until I can fix the shipping calculation issue. So sorry for the mishap, I'll see what the problem is and fix it asap.

The reason why I don't ship internationally is because it costs too much. Priority shipping to Canada costs nearly 2x more than domestic. International shipping will cost about 3x more than domestic. I guess I can do it under special circumstances for those who are willing to pay the shipping, otherwise, it's just much easier to do it domestic.


Yep, it took a LONG while to track it down... these are officially "2nd generation" Mag-Racks, the cuts are cleaner too and more flush. You can tell from the pics in the photo-album which are new and which are old if you have a good eye

Thanks again for all the comments... and I have to apologize for the shopping cart error, I kind of hate PayPal's HTML code cuz some of it is so damn confusing. For the time being I am not taking any orders until I fix the issue. Sorry again!

UPDATE: Alright! I fixed the shopping cart, it now properly adds the correct S&H.

those are so cool ! could i just pick mine up from you ? im in socal ? is the shipping for priority ?

i got one coming...i cant wait. Seems like a great product

nice uchi!

Sorry, I'm not doing local pick-ups unless for a group buy or something. Shipping is for priority mail, and in most places here in California, it's as good as overnight.



Yep, yours is all packed and ready to go!



Thanks Adin

I was wondering why the shipping at paypal was different.

no local pickup = lame.

Just ordered a medium rack. Look forward to getting it.

PM'd on a possible group buy.

Thanks.

Just ordered a medium rack of ribs and a cup holder.
Now... if only I can find some frag plugs.

The PayPal cart was somehow applying the shipping rates twice ... and it was incorrectly charging the correct shipping amount. I had those payments refunded and fixed the problem with the shopping cart. The amounts now charge the correct values for shipping. Sorry about the confusion, I was thrown off for a bit when I was looking over my records.Thanks for the kind words But realistically, I can't do local pick-ups because I don't want to deal with strangers coming over to my house every few days. 1-2 people a YEAR, no problem... but 1-2 people a WEEK, no thanks. I don't have the time to call, PM, and schedule appointments for everyone local. I'm sorry... shipping via Priority USPS is the most convenient method, and it will ONLY be done this way.I got your info, you should be getting your rack this week. :)All PMs and E-Mails have been returned.Hehe... Got your info too. You'll be getting your package later in the week!

WOW!!!
Im so happy I just stumbled upon this thread.
I have been debating making a mag float frag rack for the last couple weeks.
These look awesome! I placed an order for a small rack. Can't wait...

woo woo - order placed!

For those of you who ordered late last night and today, your racks will go out tomorrow.

You will be getting a USPS delivery confirmation e-mail with tracking later this evening.

Ooooo looks like someone was busy cookin up some racks

Just ordered for 2 small racks!!!

I want to order some but would like to get some of the scraps to make the stabilizers you show on the site.

Is this possible.

I have not seen black eggcrate around here.

I have one of these! If you get one, you too can own eye gouging frags such as these! wow! Frag rack makes all the difference in your reef. And great for light acclimation too. This product has my full endorsement!





Sasuke: I will pm you about getting a large and a medium(?) once the fire situation dies down. I also want to replace my small with a black eggcrate one. Anything we could work out? coughdiscountforrepeatbuyercough

I replied to all PMs, for those of you who placed orders, your packages will ship on THURSDAY (10/25). You'll receive a USPS confirmation e-mail later in the week.


wow, you already have coralline growing on yours... nice Send me a PM and I'll we'll figure it out. Stay safe w/the fires!

Also, for those of you who ordered already, make sure you post up pics!

Patent this. Now.

I'd like to... believe me! Just don't really know where to start. Send me a PM if anyone could help me out w/this.

Also... I have a few orders that I received earlier this week, I'm sorry for the delay but I have been rather busy. Your orders will ship first thing tomorrow morning. Those of you who've placed orders should have already gotten a USPS shipping confirmation e-mail from me. You guys should be receiving your packages early next week.

I hate delivery confirmations I'm never home when USPS comes a knockin'

I shoulda had it shipped to work *sigh*

google us patent office is the place to start


Here's mine that came in yesterday with fresh cut frags on it.

Actually, delivery confirmation is a little different than signature confirmation. Delivery confirmation is basically a tracking # for you to see where your package is at. It has nothing to do with having to "sign for your package" when it arrives. Hope you get it soon though...



Thanks for posting those pics and the info

i support SoCali peepz


my order is in


peace

I just got mine and put it in the tank. I love it.
It looks sooo nice. I will definitely be ordering another couple of them and telling everyone I know about them.
Thanks, I am very happy with my new rack.


Definitely patent them soon.

Heres a couple quick photos.

got mine today

will have to wait to put it in the tank and take pics though

Great product! A+++

Thanks Asin Your rack went out this morning ... you should get it soon.




Aaron, glad you are happy with your rack! Looks like you've already put it to good use.


Argent... Have fun fragging!

All orders that have been placed have been shipped out this morning!

www.mag-racks.com

I just got mine and it's already full!
I shoulda ordered a large slab!
Might be ordering another rack soon

LOL, yea the small size gets full fast, but they're designed to use in small tanks. I usually recommend people to get the medium size. If they can fit it, the large is definitely the way to go. Happy fragging!

U sir R a gem.


Got mine today, phenomenal workmanship, I will definitely buy more and I will pimp ur product as well.

I'm going to place an order soon!

DJ

i got mine in over the weekend and i love it. would recomend this to anyone

as far as patenting this thing goes...I already know of 4 or 5 people that are making racks very similar to this...magnetic and so forth....so you'd better apply fast, if you still can.

got mine finally in my tank - I love it! I'll try and get pics up once everything opens back up

The problem with the patent is it costs quite a bit of money... I'm still an individual and nowhere near the capacity of funcitoning as a "company" so the fees seem rather daunting. I don't really know how I should approach the patent thing because everyone seems to say: "get it now, get it soon" but we all know it's much easier said than done.

Anyways, I'm glad to hear from those who've received their racks that they are putting them to good use. The most important thing IMO in this hobby is captive propogation! I hope these things help promote the trade and proliferation of captive grown corals in our tanks.

Orders that were placed yesterday and today will ship tomorrow, look for my e-mail confirmation soon!

Thanks everyone...

YO! NICE RACK!

WHy thank you sir!

You can do it yourself and you do get a discounted rate, but the filing fees are still substantial. Even after you have it, you have to have money to enforce it if someone infringes. You can apply up to one year after the first time you sold one.

you should make magnetic cleaners too d.

I can't compete with C Jerome. I'll let him handle that arena

You should change your sizes to the following:


Small = Rack Size A

Medium = Rack Size C

Large = Rack Size D




Thank you.

lol!
