Anyone know where I can get some super stupid ridiculous strong magnets around edmonton? I made up a diy 3d background but ive tried 3 of the strongest fish safe adhesives and it won't stay on the glass once the tanks full it wants to float free.. its frustrating so if anyone knows where I can get some of those rare earth magnets or other suitable ones let me know asap please this is the only thing holding me back from getting this damn tank running.

Lol thanks but I don't need them to be that strong. Just something strong enough to hold on a big styrofoam background on 3/8" glass. I tried ge scs1200 adhesive and another kind "extreme repair" aquarium safe adhesive. Same thing nothings worked. Even after sitting 3 days.

Yup. Rare earth magnets at Lee Valley. I just bought 25 x 3/8" for like $12. They have smaller bigger. Etc. and you won't get any stronger than rare earth.

Rare earth MAY be too much for your application. Research them a bit. I know the high end mag cleaners are rare earth, but not sure how they are compared to these.

Lee Valley for sure
But be careful when you attach them as they 'could' break something when they catch each other
Maybe some cardboard between them and the glass, then drag the cardboard out slowly
