Has anyone ever used these (http://www.aqua-mags.com/index.php), something like them, or seen them in Canada?

I'm planning on ordering a few just to see what they are like.

Neat idea. I suppose you could probably throw together something similar using some magnets, epoxy and rubble.

Very neat idea, but look a little pricey.

Wats wrong with just using two part epoxy on the back wall?
Same result and can be removed with a small screw driver at any time.

I tried to order and my money was refunded, they aren't shipping to Canada at this time.

Adresont,

I don't like to use epoxy as I find it gives off a funny film in the water. I also wanted the option to move a frag or two around to make sure it has the best flow and lighting.

yep it does, and also skimmer goes foaming for some time, however if one wants to mount a frag on a side or back wall glass this Is an option.
I use Tunze epoxy anyway to mount staff so it works for me.
Moving it is kinda hard LOL after its set you are right.

Andersont,

So how do you do it? Squish on some epoxy into the glass underwater, then push the frag on into it? What do you do about the funny film that epoxy puts off (do you even get it?), and what about the smell? Its been a few years since I've used epoxy, but I don't imagine its changed much.

Michika,
Maybe we are talking about different product, I use Tunze two part stuff .

You need to mix two together and it becomes purple color. Its like a wet clay but harder.
You have about 9-12 minutes to get the job done.
I get the film on the surface but with amount of serface agitation i have, this is nothing. No smell from this thing at all. The only thing i do Not like is that skimmer goes nutts for a day and i need to rase my skimmer cup.

Yup, we are talking about different products.

I was thinking Holdfast (http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/store_pages/details/supplies.php?product_ID=mc-hfast), Aquascape Milliput (http://www.jlaquatics.com/phpstore/store_pages/details/supplies.php?product_ID=MC-DELEP), or Two Little Fishies; AquaStick (http://www.twolittlefishies.com/tlf_prod_access.html?lang_id=1).

The AquaStick smells the worst of the above three. I guess they all, yours included, do the same thing.
