Most of the magnets on a gyre is pretty weak. The strongest gyre magnet I've seen is the Maxspect XF350.
I would recommend buying stronger magnets, like from K&J Magnetics:

Depending on your plans, they make waterproof magnets, rubber coated, etc. You can buy any strength, including truly dangerous ones with hundreds of pounds of pull force. The folks at K&J are also pretty geeky and cool about helping you figure out what you need for your project.
You can also get them cheaper (and coated) from Amazon, etc.
Restricting yourself to whatever you find in pumps seems like not the right approach to me unless I’m missing something.

How far out do you plan on making the floating aqua scape? My friend use a French cleat method for his floating aqua scape. It stuck out about 30”. Turned out pretty cool.

Floating rockwork is awesome. One caveat is that any cuc that can't swim or glass walk won't be able to get there. Crabs in particular do not have access. My floating section always looked worse than any grounded scape section when running without fish and cuc only.

Nope. Water changes will not prevent algae. You will need things to eat it. Period.
