Zoo Med Magnetic Suction Cups
Never scrape a failed suction cup off the glass again. The Zoo Med Magnetic Suction Cups (model MS-1) hold aquarium equipment against the inside of the glass with a strong magnetic mount instead of a rubber pad that hardens and loses its grip over time.
The set includes six assorted nylon clip sizes, so one mount can hold canister filter outlet tubes, filter intake tubes, spray bars, heaters, probes and airline tubing. Suits freshwater and saltwater tanks.
Key features
- Magnetic mount, not a suction pad – holds firm without the fading grip rubber suction cups suffer after months in the tank.
- 6 assorted nylon clip sizes included – sized for filter intake and outlet tubes, spray bars, heaters, probes and airline tubing.
- Reusable – the whole point of a magnetic mount is that you stop replacing failed suction cups.
- Fresh and saltwater safe – the nylon clips and magnet housing don't corrode in either water type.

What's included, and what you'll still need
Included: the magnetic mount plus 6 assorted nylon clips. You won't need anything else for typical use – just clip in the tubing, cable or equipment you want to route neatly against the glass.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Suitable for holding filter tubing, spray bars, heaters, probes and airline tubing against the inside of aquarium glass, in both freshwater and marine tanks. Not the right choice for structural jobs – Zoo Med hasn't published a maximum glass thickness rating for this magnet pair, so test the hold on your own tank before relying on it for anything heavy or safety-critical.
Care and maintenance
Wipe both magnet halves clean occasionally – algae or mineral build-up between the magnet and the glass weakens the hold. If the pull feels weak, reposition it rather than forcing it to grip.
Warranty and delivery
Zoo Med doesn't publish a specific warranty term for this accessory. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law apply regardless of any manufacturer term. Standard shipping applies.
Common questions
Will the magnet work through thick aquarium glass?
Zoo Med hasn't published a maximum glass thickness for this mount, so we can't give an exact figure. Test the hold on your own tank before relying on it for anything critical, and expect a stronger hold on thinner glass.
What can I clip to it?
The six included nylon clip sizes suit filter intake and outlet tubes, spray bars, aquarium heaters, probes and airline tubing.
Is it safe for a saltwater tank?
Yes – the nylon clips and magnet housing are safe in both freshwater and saltwater setups.
Do I need more than one?
Most tanks use two or three – one per piece of equipment you want to route neatly against the glass.
