The suction cup on the DA temp probe stopped sucking (or did it start?) and I got tired of the probe just hanging loosely in the sump. I toyed with the idea of buying a magnetic probe holder, saw the prices, and decided I could make something that would do the job at a much lower cost. Here's the result...

Using scrap plexi-glass I had laying about I:
cut two pieces to size (the wall piece is thinner than the horizontal piece),
filed and sanded the exposed edges,
drilled two 1/2 inch holes in the thicker piece,
superglued them together,
used the existing Tunze Osmolator magnet to hold it, and finally
dropped the temp probe in.
All in all a pretty straight forward project that cost zero dollars.
