i put it in my aquarium and it won't magnetize. I used small. I think the glass is too thick. would a larger one magnetize?

Does it stick outside of the aquarium? Magnets consist of 2 poles North and South poles, for a magnet to stick to another magnet the poles that are brought together must be opposite. Try turning the mag float 180 degrees. What size is your tank? Larger mag floats will clearly have stronger magnetic field but will still not "stick" together if poles are not opposite.

Mine Works great as well, make sure the magnet with the writing is on the outside of the glass

are you sure you put it in the right way? and will they stick together out side the glass? mine worked Great and I had a 55 gallon tank.

The cups are incredibly sticky under water. When I first got the ramp, I had difficult pulling the ramp off the side of the aquarium. I've found that if I slide the ramp/cups above the water level it's much easier to take it out for cleaning. Alternatively, sometimes it's just easy to rotate the ramp 90 degrees to its side if your tank has enough room, which would give you access to the bottom of your tank and when changing the water, rinsing out the ramps with the new water. Hope this answers your question.

sorry it took me a while. renos in the kitchen, had to find it. I took a magnet to it. it sticks. so i think that's what you meant by magnetic bottom. hope it works. its a beautiful kettle for boiling water for tea with a great pour.

I guess it would depend on how hot your heating element gets, but I can't recommend it. It is definitely plastic. The lower end of the melting point of most plastic is around 220F. This website (http://homeaquaria.com/best-aquarium-heaters-fish-tank/) says that this mini heater (and you would indeed want a small heater) is "ideal for use in your glass or plastic tanks," but I have not verified that claim. Good luck.

I'm afraid it depends on the strength of the magnet. A decent magnet should.

The magnetization of this board is excellent for refrigerator type, and even stronger magnets. I think it will depend upon the size of the containers and the weight of the contents. I get a lot of this type of question which means that Soho needs to be more informative with weight applications and the strength of the magnetization with examples.

Not exactly sure why that matters seeing that it will fit in a tank of any size, but it measures 2 inches & 3/8ths in length, an inch and a 1/4 in width & an inch and 1/8th in height. The height is if you have one individual magnet sitting with the black side down. Double the measurements for both pieces

Strong magnet shouldn't be a problem. I anchored mine at the bottom with extra strength Velcro. Love it may get a second!

I don't think this is a very good product, mine turned out not to be not magnetic at all. Good luck.

Yes. It worked fine in mine which was not glass. The bottom tip, which is the part that gets hot doesn't touch the tank directly. It sits in holders which creates a small space between the tank and the thermometer. When it gets hot, the heat distributes in the water, so there's never a problem. The instructions do advise that you keep it in water though, so when doing a major tank cleaning, you may need to either unplug it or place it in a small jar or medium cup of water.

There is a magnet embedded in the collar buckle. If that is lost or not working almost any magnet will work. I just tried a refrigerator magnet and it worked fine. Good luck.

How did you loose? Did you look hard for them? I know it's silly to ask... But otherwise I see you having to get a new set.. I know uou have the larger one but I haven't tried putting it in.. I'm sure it will work just as good if not a lot louder.. but don't know if it would be comfortable or how safe.. remember the larger the magnet the more it will react to magnetic fields in it's reach.. I know u could hear the magnetic fields from devices and motors with the lil ones.. soo I could imagine that would be amplified.. you can look around and see if you can order replacement magnets, but the wait might be as long as the device itself..

I bought the magnetic thermometer. It will sink without the magnet. The reading is incorrect anyway so I don't recommend buying.

I used a rare earth magnet, like this one http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Magnets-Earth-Neodymium-Discs/dp/B0012AUU84/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp2_Jpcdsb1MR98FM_tt and super-glued it to the back to stick it to the refrigerator. It works well... and I have 99 magnets to spare! :-)

Hello Bryan. You should try with your own magnet globe, if it doesn´t work, I think you could made your own plastic globe around the original magnet without problem.And I told you, you should have patient to put the magnet in the center, I did it almost in five minute my first time, but in the afternoon, I was already putting in a few seconds...

This product has two powerful magnets to hold it to a surface. Mine is on the side of the fridge and works great. Older stainless steel appliance were not magnet friendly but my new stainless steel appliance do hold magnets. You will just have to check you'd surfac.

Yea the magnetic is what holds it in place. Not a good idea if yours is made of plastic.
