You can bend those without heating, they are made out of lexan. Yes sir I could make a custom one, just let me know what you want. I may have a few more pieces of 1/4" material to make one. I have a 1/4" corner rack in my tank that hangs 15" down. Just let me know call/text 2286978083

Those look really nice :D When you make the "custom one" for Richard, can you post a pic of that one :D :D Thats the one I want :D he always has good ideas. I am sure you have checked on this, have you looked into making one with a magnet on it, I could raise or lower it as needed?

I just can't find the type and size magnets I need to incorporate them into the design. I don't want to use the wrong ones and it cause havoc in someone's tank

Any Carbon steel Magnet will work as it will put out GFO as it rusts away ... dont want it in my tanks but.

The other source would be discarded algae scrapers their magnets should be safe.

the magnetic ones I have are regular magnets sealed in acryiic both for inside and outside the tank. GMan has a corner one in the shop. Get a look at it.

The one I would like would be twice the size of the 2nd one you have posted, with hole spacing a little further apart (see the corner one GMan has) out of the thicker acrylic and about 15" deep.

Ok I looked at the magnet website. When do you need/want this rack by? You want it just twice as long or twice as long and wide?
