A magnetic flow pump's mounting strength directly determines whether it stays put on thicker glass or slips loose over time. Reef Octopus offers dedicated replacement magnet mounts for the Octo Pulse 2 and 4, plus an extra-strong outer magnet for thicker-walled tanks.
Why Magnet Mounts Wear or Need Upgrading
Magnet strength can weaken over years of use, and a stock magnet that held fine on a standard tank may not provide enough holding force on thicker acrylic or glass. Rather than replacing the whole pump, a magnet mount swap solves either problem directly.
What's Available
- Octo Pulse Extra Strong Outer Magnet Mount — replaces the stock dry-side magnet with a stronger version for thicker tank walls.
- Octo Pulse 2 Outside Magnet Mount — the dry-side half of the Octo Pulse 2's magnetic mounting system.
- Octo Pulse 4 Outside Magnet Mount — the dry-side half sized for the larger 4-series pump.
- Octo Pulse 2 Wet Side Magnet Mount — the in-tank half of the Octo Pulse 2's magnetic mounting system.
- Octo Pulse 4 Wet Side Magnet Mount — the in-tank half sized for the Octo Pulse 4.
Before You Order
- Measure your tank wall thickness before choosing the extra-strong option — it's built specifically for tanks the stock magnet can't reliably hold on.
- Match wet-side and dry-side parts to your specific Octo Pulse model (2 or 4) for correct fit and holding strength.
