Powerful Magnetic Cleaner for Easily Removing Algae from Fish Tanks

Marcus & Sarah Perry: This magnet works exactly as intended. I use this for general maintenance cleaning for algae on the glass of my 3 gallon Fluval tank, and it works like a charm. This saves a lot of time / hassle from having to stick a brush in the water. Now my routine is cycling 1/3 of the water every few days, and using this little brush whenever I see any glass buildup. You may still need to use a brush to get of the really tough algae that accumulates from no maintenance, but once you working with a clean slate, this thing does the trick to stop the buildup.

Inside the Beltway: I have a large two-gallon bowl for my betta and needed a veeery small algae brush. I wasn't sure it would work; sometimes the curvature of the bowl keeps the magnets from connecting tightly (we have a much larger conventional flat faced tank at work which is how I knew these things existed in the first place.). This one is actually perfect. I use it on the glass every couple of days, the betta doesn't seem to mind it, and when I'm finished I just slide it around to the back (behind the fairy castle lol) where it's out of sight, although you could just remove it completely between uses if you want to. Very pleased.

Craig A: We have a small 5 gallon Marineland tank for goldfish. The cleaner although small does the job as intended. This is an inexpensive way to keep the glass surface clean.

Dani M.: Great value. I bought this to clean my little beta tanks and it works perfectly. I separate the magnet and allow to air dry before combining and storing in drawer. Been using for a month or so and works wonders every use. It’s made cleaning our fish tanks a million times easier by not having to remove our fish before cleaning. I would just note, be careful when removing magnets from tank or jar by very slowly approaching the edge and allow magnets to come together gently. First time I used the magnets I didn’t take enough caution when removing from tank and they snapped together and scared the hell out of our fish. If you go slowly it doesn’t disturb the fish.

Dave Sullivan: Works great. Super tiny, so you can leave it in your tank and it's not an eye sore. While the magnets aren't as strong as a flipper, these are crazy cheap and work really well. I'm very impressed, definitely better than magfloats, except it doesn't float. I'll be putting one in every tank I have. Only "flaw" is its circular, so you can't get corners completely.
