i would guess no! i havent seen them but i dought they are sealed for saltwater or freshwater use.
magnets have alot of iron, which can poison your tank during decomposition, and create a massive algae bloom since algae loves iron. why not buy a magnetic cleaner from a pet store?  i use the large ones for 3/4" glass to mount/superglue my MJ-1200s sliding bracket. i slide them out to clean them and slide them back in to place so the flow will remain the same without having to adjust it everytime.

the trick is to know if your magnet is made of reefsafe material.
slightly offtopic - did anyone see that show about magnets on the history channel? they levitated a frog in a supermagnet.

What type of float switches are you using? If they are reed switches then you can't use a magnet to hold them in place. A lot of float switches use a magnet in the float to activate the switch as the magnet raises and lowers past the contacts.

I've had them in my tank for about a year now with 0 problems. I've also known people who have just glued them to powerheads to use as a mount and have had those going over 2 years.

If you're worried about them decomposing or rusting, enclose them in epoxy or putty. Make it a thin layer so it doesn't take much strength to go through it. Fiberglass resin works really good too, and you can use a small plastic container, like the lid of a capsule from a quarter-machine in the supermarket, as a mold.
