mounting shelf rock to glass

[Nano]

I agree I was originally going to do a smaller version of this in my cube, but decided to not cover up Gregs beautiful overflow he put in. in stead I am growing montipora on it

I wasnt going to silicone it, but try to drill out some of the weight out of the back while still leaving the rock intact. then using some powerful magnets to hold it in place.

i was thinking just silicone it. i like the magnets though its already got 2 flat sides so im good there. is there any issues with bare earth magnets being in a reef tank?

I have a few magnets in my tank... Shush you know who!.. And you can not just put a bare magnet in your tank.. They have to be coated in epoxy or acrylic.

You can get magnets made to hold a maxi jet or tune pump that work quite well. You can silione the wet side of the magnet to your rock. Let the silicone cure completely before you put it in your tank.
