Magnetic Ledges

[Poison Dart Frog]

Anyone ever use magnetic ledges on the side of their aquarium so that you can mount some corals up higher away from everything else? They also make more lightweight ledges that you could silicone to the glass. I have one in my leopard gecko enclosure and it actually looks like pretty natural. Just curious if this might be a good idea for some of the taller aquariums. You could have a colony of one of the "pest" corals like xenia or gsp away from everything else. Or a zoanthid colony covering a ledge would look really nice.

Never used those but I have magnetic islands in my 75 gallon. They work great.

Nice, those look really great. Kind of a nicer version of what I was picturing actually.

Bulk Reef Supply. 

 

NanoRox also makes some nice nano versions.

They are awesome if you don’t like a lot of rock but still want a “reef” look.

Yay!! 😃

 

I’m excited to see how you arrange them.

I already know where I want them, now I just need something to go on them.  I ordered 3 coral that will be here tomorrow, but not sure any of them would work good for the ledges.  (1 candy cane and 2 acans)

From the Tunze Care & Culture section....

 

The Tunze "Delta Rock":

 

And "long" and "short" fracg rocks:

 

They have "housings" like that which their pumps can be mounted in for camouflage too:

Great topic. I have been shopping for corals already mounted on shelf rock for my larger system. 

 

I plan on attaching these directly to side glass/back wall

I got one of the nanorox in the mail. Very nice, it looks just like live rock. I glued a favia to the small frag plug it came with.
