I've got my own experiment going on right now in my saltwater mix tub, but was just curious if anyone has played with attaching a VisiTherm heater holder to one of those magnetic powerhead holder and ditching the stupid suction cups?
I originally didn't think it'd work because I figured the magnet would mess with the bimetallic thermostat that controls the heater. But in doing it tonight and turning the thermostat knob higher and lower, the heater seems to turn on and turn off just fine.
I'm going to run it that way for a while in my mixing tub to see if it works long term, but was curious if anyone else out there has tried it. I'm thinking someone has...
