    If you have extra equipment parts like hooks, you could glue them to eggcrate and hang it on the back wall. Suction cups will work also but you will need big ones to hold the weight - depending on how many frags you are planning to house.

    You could make a hang-on-back-rack if you want it high in the tank. I've seen it on another board done with pvc and egg crate. Your basically cutting and fitting the PVC to make a "U" shape to hang over the back wall and down into the tank. Then use another 90 and a bit more pvc to create the support part for the egg crate to sit on. You'll create 2 of these sitting over the top and then the egg crate sitting on both supports in tank. Pretty cheap alternative if you have the plumbing laying around. I don't see how your going to get the egg crate to sit securely on that one little nub coming out of the magnet though.

    I'm surprised they didn't have any. It's sold in the lighting section and is commonly referred to as "light diffuser".
