    Don't waste your time on paying for suction cup that fail, or expensive magnetic doo-hickeys.

    Just hit up lowes for a $20 heat gun and $4 acrylic and get to work. Next I will make a DIY acclimation box for my candy basslet.

    I tried to buy an e-shoppes magnetic probe holder a couple months back and everywhere was back-ordered. Thats when I looked into doing something acrylic myself. Super easy and I'm pretty sure I just figure out how to make my thrive frag tree magnetic using some acrylic!
