AGU030SM Mag-Float Glass Aquarium Cleaner, Small

I use this small magnet to clean the top & sides of my 6g Fluval Edge aquarium. CONSTRUCTION: this set consists of two magnets encased in plastic. The "outside" magnet has a felt surface to avoid scratching your aquarium. The "inside" magnet cleaning material is the "hook" half of a hook+loop (aka velcro) fastener. USE: the Fluval Edge aquarium has a built-on glass roof, and access is through a 5x7" porthole on the top. The inside magnet skips a little on my aquarium glass but cleans green filament algae off my glass easily. PROS: the FLOATING feature is awesome, makes it easy to retrieve the magnet without reaching into the water. CLEANS AROUND CORNERS - The magnet is strong enough that the "inside" magnet just jumps from one wall to the other when you go around corners. very cool and functional. CONS: as with all magnets I've used, the scraped off algae ends up floating away into the tank and getting hung up on my plants. par for the course... BULKY inside magnet housing. A lower-profile magnet would be better for me. The Mag Float is hard to maneuver around my driftwood and plants because it sticks out into the aquarium. OVERALL: cleans well, easy to use on my hard-to-clean and cramped 6gal aquarium.

I purchased this product for my 14gal saltwater nano tank. As a beginner to the world of fish-parenting, I was looking for a relatively cheap product that was reliable, and a great value for the quality. Thankfully, that is exactly what I got with the Mag-Float Glass Aquarium Cleaner in Grey. Not only is it the perfect size for my small tank, it FLOATS! While this may seem obvious, this quality is really what sets it apart. Forget digging around and getting your arm wet when you (inevitably) pull the pieces apart while trying to clean the corners of your tank. With Mag-Float, you'll only ever have to get the tips of your fingers wet, if that! The magnets are strong, so I rarely even have to dip my hands in the tank. Plus, as an added bonus, I never have to worry about Mag-Float falling down the side of the tank. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my Mag-Float Glass Aquarium Cleaner in Grey.

This is by far the easiest, fastests, and least messy way of cleaning most of the algae from my tank walls. It's actually surprisingly easy to use - the magnetics are strong enough to let you quickly move it around corners when needed, and since it floats it's easy to "reaquire" when you do lose the link. It doesn't take a lot of effort to "scrub" this gadget up and down on the glass, and it removes the majority of the algae it passes over. It can be a bit challenging to get around certain objects (e.g. filters, decorations that are close to the wall), but that's to be expected. This is one of those 95% things - it'll get rid of *most* of the algae - the stuff you can reach - for minimal effort.

Well I have a 15 gallon column tank so it's not too big so I went ahead and ordered the small version of the mag-float and I'm glad I did. The product it self is relatively small and compact so it's easy to hide from view and honestly it looks pretty good on the side of my tank. When I first got my tank I didn't notice it had a bunch of silicone stains from when they assembled so I had to manually remove them my self. After removing the silicone stains I left behind a lot of residue and water marks on the tank and the Mag-Float easily got rid of them. I thought the Mag-Float was only for algae but it also gets rid of dried up water marks which I find very useful because I like my tanks to look crystal clear. I would definitely recommend this product it's a great little tool to have in your arsenal. At first I was scared to use it because of all the reviews I read about stuff getting stuck in the between the magnets but if you're careful everything will be fine. You don't even have to be that gentle with it just move it around firmly but just make sure you don't cause too much movement in your tank. The floating mechanism for this product works really well and getting around the corners is truly a breeze. I've been careful to not pass it by the silicone or too close to the gravel just in case because it is pretty strong. I'm glad I purchased this item and I hope it last me for a while before having to replace it. I don't know if I'm not looking in the right place but I can't seem to find any small replacement pads for my Mag-Float so I hope this one doesn't loose it's roughness anytime soon.

I wasn't sure what size mag-float to get for my 29 gallon Biocube, and I ended up deciding on this small version, mainly because it was cheaper. In summary, I love this thing! I still have to get my hands into the tank once a week to clean the rounded corners, but I knew that when I purchased the mag-float, so it's not really a complaint, just something to note. For cleaning algae off glass, it works really well, and even though it's small in size, definitely does the trick for my 29 gallon tank. If you have larger tank I would recommend one of the larger versions, but this definitely gets the job done and is a very reasonable price, especially compared to retail stores! Highly recommended!
