Does your electrolyte of choice have an iron supplement in it?

that'll be it then, there's low levels of iron oxide in the water, isn't there.

or you have a fungus/mould growing in there that like a magnetic field to thrive in ๐Ÿ™‚

The magnetic attaches to a magnet on the frame so you don't need a cage.
It's posh.

Surely a bit of bleach in there will clean that up for you. What could possibly go wrong???

Do you live in an 80-year old house with iron pipework?
It looks like iron / bacteria growth.

Ah, looks good! I could do with some magnetic SPDs after my embarrasing city centre tumble last night ๐Ÿ˜†

Give it a scrub and pop a miltons tablet in there and you should be safe ๐Ÿ™‚
