Default Ceramic Magnets?

Can I have these in my tank with no ill effects on anything?

Thanks reef friends!

No. Ceramic magnets still contain iron. They have to to be magnetic. The only safe magnets are those that are encased in epoxy, or some other inert sealant.

Thank you Evil

Here's a link for how they make them if anyone is confused in the future:

NO to ceramic/ ferrite magnets.
