🧲 OptiClearr Algae Cleaning Magnet Review

Works well but the removable cleaning pad wears out after 12-20 uses which I couldn't. Find replacement pads (they are removable)

This is my second and is great for cleaning the corners of the bio cube. Helps to quickly clean hard-to-reach places. I use this and a small magnetic float for cleaning every few days.

Doesn't really affect the corners which is why I bought it on purpose. In addition, it easily falls off and settles on the substrate, and then needs to be cleaned to avoid scratches.

It hardly cleans a flat surface so you still have to pick it up by hand with a kitchen sponge. It also doesn't clean the corners of the same tank it's supposed to clean, and worse, it scratches the glass. Dissatisfied!

Used it straight away, worked great and fast. This should be part of the weekly maintenance of your tank to keep scale from forming. I have a 32 gallon freshwater fish bio cube. I will update if I find problems.

The curved side of this cleaner makes it easier and better to contact the inside of the cylindrical tank I have. I have a 3.5 gallon top fin aqua phonic tank. Considering the price and free shipping, this is a much better quality than what you can find in stores or even Wallymart. Save yourself the hassle and get it online when you need it.

Bought on 11/06/16 when my 14 year old son bought it with his own money. He saved money to set up his own aquarium. It has only been used 16 days and the internal 'scrubber' part of the cleaner has started to dissolve in the aquarium. He has a 30-day return policy, so he finds out about faulty products the hard way. Very disappointed.

I found the 'corner' cleaning aspect and overall it does a pretty good job if you keep it up to date. If you let the algae grow for too long, you will have to put in more effort to remove them. I like that it matches the biocube tank. I have been using a magnetic float for many years (20+ years) and it seems to me that the magnet is stronger, the attraction between polar opposites is much stronger than any other cleaning device like this that I have used. Time will tell how this ages, I'll…

This product is almost perfect for cleaning Coralife Biocubes. I've used it on my Biocube 32 and found it cleans the glass MUCH better than other magnetic cleaners I've tried and the curved edges are a real plus for those hard to reach areas on the front and sides of the tank. I have found it easily cleans green and brown algae in 1-2 passes over the surface. I would like a larger footprint and stronger magnet, but with practice you can keep the magnet from coming loose. Maybe it's just my…
