AvidAqua NeaterHeater - Dual Heater Mounting System | BRStv Product Spotlight
Suction cup heater clips are one of those pieces of aquarium gear almost everyone has dealt with, and almost nobody loves. They work for a while, then they harden up, lose grip, and eventually become “suctionless cups” that let your heater slide, fall, or lean against something it really shouldn’t be touching.
That’s exactly the problem AvidAqua set out to solve with the NeaterHeater Magnetic Mounts. Instead of relying on flimsy suction cups to hold your heaters or titanium heating elements in place, NeaterHeater gives you a stronger, cleaner, and far more reliable magnetic mounting option.
A Better Way to Mount Aquarium Heaters
The AvidAqua NeaterHeater is designed to securely hold up to two aquarium heaters or titanium heating elements between 1/2 inch and 1 inch in diameter. The included slide-lock heater mounts fit into AvidAqua’s ModMag magnetic platform, while silicone nubs hold the heaters snugly in place.
That silicone grip is a big part of what makes the NeaterHeater so useful. It keeps your heaters secure, but still makes them easy to remove when it’s time for cleaning or maintenance. More importantly, the silicone is made to handle the heat, so it won’t melt, dry out, shrink, or crack like cheaper clips and suction cups often do.
No More Heaters Falling Loose
A loose heater can be more than just annoying. It can fall to the bottom of your sump, lean against other equipment, melt nearby gear, or, in a worst case scenario, knock against glass and break.
The NeaterHeater helps prevent those issues by keeping your heaters firmly mounted exactly where you want them. It’s a simple upgrade, but one that can make your sump or aquarium setup feel much cleaner, safer, and more organized.
NeaterHeater vs. NeaterHeater Pro
There are two versions available: the NeaterHeater and the NeaterHeater Pro. Both are designed to hold up to two aquarium heaters or titanium heating elements, but the right choice comes down to panel thickness and heater length.
| Feature | NeaterHeater | NeaterHeater Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Magnet Setup | Single magnet | Dual magnets |
| Panel Thickness | Up to 3/8 inch | Up to 1/2 inch |
| Heater Capacity | Up to two heaters or titanium elements | Up to two heaters or titanium elements |
| Heater Diameter | 1/2 inch to 1 inch | 1/2 inch to 1 inch |
| Best For | Standard heaters and thinner panels | Longer heaters, thicker panels, and added stability |
| Notable Advantage | Compact, simple, and secure | Magnets can be separated and spread apart for longer heaters |
The standard NeaterHeater is a great fit for thinner panels and standard heater sizes. The NeaterHeater Pro adds more holding power and flexibility, especially if you’re mounting longer heaters that need extra support.
Built Around the AvidAqua ModMag System
The NeaterHeater is part of AvidAqua’s ModMag system, which is the customizable magnetic platform used across their aquarium accessories. ModMag uses strong magnets with a simple track-and-clip design, allowing accessories like frag racks, probe holders, and heater mounts to attach securely and be repositioned easily.
The NeaterHeater models use AvidAqua’s Mega Magnets, but they can also be upgraded with Giga Magnets for even more holding power. That can be useful for heavier heaters, oversized titanium elements, or extra-thick panels.
Strong, Reliable, and Made to Last
Like the rest of AvidAqua’s ModMag accessories, the NeaterHeater is built with durability in mind. The magnets are sealed inside ultrasonically welded ABS shells and include an audible shake test, which helps confirm that water hasn’t breached the magnet housing.
AvidAqua also backs the ModMag magnets with a lifetime warranty, which is especially impressive for magnetic aquarium products.
Ditch the Suction Cups
If you’re tired of crusty suction cups giving up and letting your heaters fall out of place, the AvidAqua NeaterHeater is a major step up. It keeps heaters and titanium elements organized, secure, and easy to access while giving your sump or aquarium a much cleaner setup.
The standard NeaterHeater and NeaterHeater Pro both solve the same frustrating problem: keeping your heaters secure without relying on suction cups that eventually fail.
