I can't believe you are smiling.  Or are you putting on a brave face for our
benefit? 

The substrate in my 75g is gravel/sand collected from a nearby river.  It contains
magnetic (I believe it contains pyrite, or similar).   A bit of it stuck to a
cleaning magnet on my new 75g, and put a HUGE scratch right across the center 
of the tank!   After throwing the magnet out the window, and once I finished
crying, I emptied the tank, turned it around on the stand, and started over.
