    Sure Grip Magnetic Power Head Holder - Looks like they are taking a run at Tunze. These look like they will work with Maxi-Jets!

    Sure are nice but for that price you can just buy a whole new pump with the suction cups. Alot of money of just two magnets.

    You should see how much the Tunze version is. :)

    I bought one for one of my MJ. I quickly bought 3 more. They ROCK.

    After having my Power heads fall on bubbles or hammer corals this is finally a solution

    Worth the $21.00 each I paid for them

    I was also thinking of getting a few.
    May be worth it just to be able to easilly move the pumps around to quickly blast the aquascape before doing waterchanges.

    I was just thinking that they would be easy to move around sort of like the magnetic algae scrapers.

    Not bad...However, I love my- wave2k- water movent system...it rocks!!!!moves alot of water and is whisper quiet...No more powerheads and heat generated by the impellers and the magnets. I love the Tunze's but way too expensive. I will spend the savings on a nice limied edition coral from Steve Tyree or spstoner. Montipora superman Denae...

    I agree with Jason, it's not the issue of money per say, it's more the issue that they are a lot less likely to fall off like suction cups. I know a couple of people who have come home to water on the floor when powerheads fall off and empty the tank ;)
