Not enough magnetism

I recently bought two Aqueon products and was very happy with them so I decided to replace the magnetic scraper with one of their half price products. There simply isn't enough magnet to provide the tension needed to remove algae from the glass. I ordered the old standard which I should have ordered first. It's not about sticking to the magnet, it's about rubbing the glass, and cleaning it just isn't enough.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • 0

The magnet is super strong.

The magnet is very strong. This is good for not losing your grip on thick glass, and bad for the risk of pinching your fingers, be careful. It cleans well, but I just wipe the inner glass with a regular sponge when changing the water. It's also possible to scratch the glass if you have a sandy back and a few grains get caught between the glass cleaning pad. I probably wouldn't buy again. Suitable for people who change water very infrequently and want to keep their front sight glass clean.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Some little things

This is really amazing!

Your aquarium has always been missing this! If you're like me, you hate sticking your hand in water and rubbing glass. It's gross, and when I get to it, I've put it off for so long it's just plain gross. But this little magnet is amazing! I looked at them for years and finally decided to give it a try. I was blown away by how clean it got in the glass and how smoothly it moved. I was even able to get in front of the rocks and guide him along the bottom of the tank. In no time my tank was…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Something different

Go on 150/40/20/10 gallons

So I have 150 gallons it was a lot easier to slip in there and it cleaned but it also shook and came loose a few times but the seal it stayed on the glass. Now for 40 gallons you have to be huge to operate them, or at least use two hands. Erased everything inside without shaking or chipping. 20 gallons have to use elbow grease again, but it came up and did the job. work and not be too big for the tank. Overall since I got this for my large tank it has done the job but didn't stay attached and I

magnets! Keep your hands dry while you pull the cleaner from the tank!

While it's a little scary for fish and some people (ICP Miracles) how magnets work, carrying the Algae Cleaner without getting your hands wet is just plain fun! I scraped a 50 gallon rectangle and it would even push aside a few rocks if handled gently, then I made my 35 gallon hex and to my surprise found that it was around 120 -degree inside corners (do the math!) can be made to make all six sides continuous without having to remove and reattach the magnet - how cool is THAT? Serious thing…

Pros
  • Convenience Item
Cons
  • Compatibility

should have gotten a floating one

I have the small size for a standard 10 gallon glass tank. I chose this item because I was on a budget and it was one of the cheaper options and had decent reviews. The glass pad will remove the algae but it will take several passes especially on more stubborn dirt but in my experience this is normal with this type of scrubber. The magnet isn't the strongest, and given the weight, it falls off fairly easily, especially when trying to get through corners. It's quite bulky so trying to clean my…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Functionality

Definitely not small and not without scratches

I bought this clean Aqueon brand 5 gallon acrylic table top tank assuming the tank manufacturer has the right product to clean it. Unfortunately, the blue spacer made specifically for acrylic aquariums left scratches on my 1 month old acrylic aqueon. Luckily I tested a small portion of the tank, not the entire faceplate. But the scratched mark is still visible. And "small" is not small at all. The cleaning half of the magnet measures 2 3/8" x 1 1/2" and is 5/8" deep *not including* the weighted

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • volume
