I lean towards lighter but I'd ask if they've been sealed yet? Also, how do they look wet?

(hmm...a shelf mushroom waterfall could be awesome)
Not sealed yet. Will not require sealing, just need a 7 day post cure and they're totally fine to have in the viv as they are.

Will be doing both in this case! I'll get some stronger magnets and make both magnet sets and non magnet sets. =)

For the people worried about super strong magnets scratching or breaking glass, I will be coating the 'outside' magnets in a capsule of urethane rubber. It's grippy, will prevent sliding and also protect glass and fingers from pinches and breaking.

Just waiting on magnets to come in the mail! I'm in AU, so KJ Magnetics is a bit of a pricey choice, I have a local choice that isn't so bad, but still pricey! I've found a wholesale price place in hong kong but slow shipping. Expect magnet attempt #2 in about two weeks, gives me some time to make a mould for the magnet capsules.

P.S. - I'm female. Not that it's important, but not a "he"! =)
