Description of Jasonwell Magnetic Aquarium Fish Tank Glass Algae Cleaner - Floating Brush (L Size)

Clean algae and scum off of the inside of your aquarium the easy, fun way!. Strong magnetic forces cause the inside cleaning brush to follow the outside handle. Just wipe the outside, and the inside is cleaned!. The inside piece floats, so if it becomes separated from the outside piece, it's easy to retrieve. Simply drag the no-scratch, felt-lined handle and inside your aquarium, the scrubber follows, cleaning as it goes. Important: Made for common glass fish tank, not for acrylic and low iron glass. Please choose the size by the thickness of your fish tank glass. The larger, the stronger the magnet.

Works GREAT for the price

I’m writing this review on the day I receive this tank cleaner because I’m very impressed with the quality and ease of use. I used it today to clean my salt rock tank and i used the stainless scraper. The first thing I noticed is that the scraper actually extends the cleaning area where the pad won’t go. The scraper does a great job removing stubborn algae black dot algae whichPads have a hard time removing. I leave it in the tank full time as the salt water will not hurt it.To sum it up if…

Pros
  • WORKS PRETTY GOOD, HAPPY WITH THIS
Cons
  • Somewhat expensive compared to other cleaning options

Powerful and perfectly effective.

The only reason I did not give 5 stars for "Easy to Use" is that a person with weaker hand strength would not be able to get the magnets apart. I'm 69 years old and love this device, but my petite wife cannot use it, but then she can't open twist-off soft drink bottles, either. Warning: Don't get your fingers between the magnets.I got the large size. A weaker person might try a smaller one. It came with both a metal blade and a plastic blade. Even though my tank is glass, the plastic blade…

Pros
  • This is the product I needed.
Cons
  • May not be effective against stubborn algae

Cleans well! best in my review

I bought it, expecting to use it and clean my 55 gallons tank, but I ended up not using it for a very long period of time. Before I bought the algae eaters, my aquarium used to always build up algae on its glass. This product kept it easy to clean. The magnets used in this item are so powerful! To be honest, I tried to look for flaws in this item, but I just couldn't find any. I just gets the job done perfectly when used, and it is for half of the price of the ones found at my local fish store!

Pros
  • Essu to usr an sturdy
Cons
  • May require frequent replacement of felt pads

Awesome Buy: my feedback

Alright. So. I have a 250 gallon glass fish tank. I purchased one of those "green felt" tank cleaners and it just wasn't doing its job. This little gadget, on the other hand, turned scrub-a-dub dubbin' into a super easy "task". From package to clean tank in about 10 minutes. And I had some thick, green algae stuck on my glass tank sides. That little scraper was amazing! I am so happy I decided to buy this. I got the medium sized one and it worked like a charm! <3

Pros
  • Worth every penny super easy to use and does a great job.
Cons
  • Requires some effort to use effectively

Medium was too much for my 10-gallon tank

I gave this five stars because although the implement is unwieldy and the magnet is too strong for my situation, it should not be accessed on the basis of my incorrect choice. I went by the reviews of many people who said that the magnet was too weak for their tank. Perhaps I did not read the reviews closely enough to match apples for apples, but here is the upshot. I have a ten-gallon tank but am not sure exactly what the thickness of the glass is in inches or millimeters. For this tank, the…

Pros
  • Its easy to use! Great quality
Cons
  • Can be difficult to store

Good product but the assembly can be tricky

I bought this magnetic tank cleaner a couple of months ago and it's been working very well. I had a lot of hard water stains on the glass that I couldn't remove and now I'm seeing them less and less which is great.One thing I would suggest though is to have some directions/instructions included in the box because it took my boyfriend and I a while to figure out how to attach the blade correctly. Even just some close-up pictures of the blade inserted would help. Other than that, no complaints.

Pros
  • The inside piece floats, so if it becomes separated from the outside piece, it's easy to retrieve.
Cons
  • Requires regular maintenance to maintain effectiveness

Very strong, very tough. Doesnt scratch tho. Great on hair algae

Does exactly what it says it does. It's a magnetic algae scraper. It's tough but didnt scratch my glass. I had hair algae growing in one wall of the tank, a thick layer of it too. Busted right through it. I will say to use caution near the edges of the tank. Its heavy and the magnets are strong. It didnt happen, but I could easily see it happening. Its strong and heavy, if you hit the side too hard I would imagine it would be the equivalent of smacking a rock on the glass. It's a very strong…

Pros
  • Magnetic force keeps the cleaner securely in place
Cons
  • May require additional cleaning solutions to be effective

Strong magnet but the felt pad is coming off.

I liked the product at first, it has great magnetic holding power and buoyancy when separated. BUT, after the fourth time using it the felt pads glue is coming off around the edges. Worse than that, the glue that was used on the felt leaves smears on the glass. This glue is hard to clean off so I’ve gone back to cleaning with a sponge by hand. It’s easier to clean by hand than to spend 20 minutes trying to clean the glue streaks off of the 65 gallon tank glass. The handle is hard to hang on too

Pros
  • Prevents the need to get your hands wet when cleaning
Cons
  • Can be difficult to clean a heavily soiled tank

Good product for its price

I got the large magnet cleaner for a 120-gal mix reef. It works well. I like the low profile of the scrubber. My previous Mag-Float was a little taller and sometimes got stuck between the rocks and the glass. The metal scraper removes coralline algae effectively, although, be careful not to remove the silicone sealant lining the corners of the tank. The felt pad on the handle was glued on crooked, bummer, but hidden and still functional. The handle is a little small for a good grip. I noticed…

Pros
  • Cleans the aquarium walls and edges thoroughly
Cons
  • Could potentially damage silicone seals on tank

Great magnet suction to window

I bought several of these and they work great in both fresh water and saltwater. They are decently priced compared to other brands.

Pros
  • Aquarium Cleaners
Cons
  • May not be efficient for cleaning heavily stocked tanks

Good for the money on my review.

I bought the large size because i have a 50 gallon tank. I was cleaning the glass and the scrapper came off during use and I had to fish it out and of course it sunk to the bottom. didnt stay on longer than 5 minutes. As annoying as it was the scrapper worked really really really well.

Pros
  • Can be used on various types of aquariums
Cons
  • May not work well on curved or irregularly shaped tanks

Good deal for the price

Easy to use and sturdy, but it takes repeated swipes to remove the algae from the glass on my 75 gallon tank. Looking back I should have ordered the jumbo magnetic cleaner instead of the large one. It does work, but the magnet needs to be stronger so the bottom doesn't lag and skip sections of algae behind. For the price it's a good deal that gets the job done, but for a 75 gallon tank get the jumbo.

Pros
  • Lightweight design makes it easy to handle
Cons
  • Requires both hands to use effectively

Great item for keeping the aquarium glass free of algae.

This aquarium glass cleaner works very well. It’s super easy to use and has a very strong magnet that holds the two pieces together. It’s well-made and a great value for the price. I highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Works well. Suction doesn’t always hold but since it floats it’s no big deal
Cons
  • Not suitable for acrylic tanks

Works as advertised!

This scrubber works really well. I let my algae grow on my tank for about a month.it got really gross. The scrubber works a lot better when you attach the little black edge scraper. It took off algae so fast my water became really cloudy and I had to do almost a full water change. The only thing it can't do is scrape the algae off the edges where the silicone is, which I don't expect any scrubber to be able to do. That's more of a YOU need to wipe that off yourself kinda thing. If the inside…

Pros
  • Effective in removing stubborn algae and dirt
Cons
  • Can require a bit of elbow grease to effectively remove stubborn algae

Great product! - my new review

After you get the hang of it, this is a great tool to clean your aquarium. Wish I had this years ago. Makes cleaning the inside of your glass, a breeze.

Pros
  • This has worked wonders on our fish tank and saved me a lot of time.
Cons
  • I have 3/4 glass and this XL was a complete fail, magnets are too weak!

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A must have tool for your tank.

This concept is awesome. I never knew there were magnetic aquarium cleaners until I recently started up a tank and was watching care videos and had to have one! This price is great for what you get. I searched at the local pet store and the prices are much more in store. I only gave it 4 stars because it seems like the magnet could be stronger. I had to use it very slowly to keep the two halves together as I used it to clean the algae off the walls, but it did do the job and was much easier…

Pros
  • Ideal for both freshwater and saltwater aquariums
Cons
  • Not suitable for cleaning tanks with sand substrate

Works AWESOME for our 10gal tank!

We have a small 10g tank for our glow-fish and finally threw away our old scrubber.This little guy worked awesome! We added the plastic scraper and it really got off the hard spots that I couldn't get off with elbow grease and old scrubber. Definitely recommend this!So easy to use my daughter can now take care of it herself! Makes cleaning a lot of fun!The in-water piece even floats so you can't lose it!Thanks for hitting HELPFUL to let Best Buy know feedback.

Pros
  • Clean algae and scum off of the inside of your aquarium the easy, fun way!
Cons
  • Not recommended for use near fragile or delicate decorations

I have a fish against my will.

I was relocated to an office with a giant gold fish in a giant tank (possibly not big enough tank) and though I do not want this fish, and I am caring for it completely against my will, I was entirely offended by the state of the glass/water clarity.I replaced the filters and that helped, but there was so much algae on the glass I didn’t know what to do. I remember seeing a magnetic scrubber in a tank at a Chinese buffet- so here I am.This one did the trick!Now, I do really struggle with…

Pros
  • Convenient and practical for regular cleaning
Cons
  • Can be difficult to use at certain angles

Good value - my new review

Works just as good as the expensive brand without the price tag only fault is the magnet could be a little stronger but it still works pretty good

Pros
  • Algae Scrapers
Cons
  • Potential for magnet to detach and cause damage to tank

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A must have! good for me

I bought this for a tall hexagon shaped tank and it works well. I was worried that it wouldn’t be able to go around the edges/corners, but I was happily surprised that I can navigate the cleaner around all sides. It’s a strong magnetic and must have to keep the aquarium clean! This one is for glass, so make sure your aquarium is glass before buying. They make different ones for acrylic tanks.

Pros
  • Reduces the need for frequent water changes
Cons
  • Users might need multiple cleaners for different types of algae
