The easiest way to remove algae for simple aquarium maintenance
Mag-Float®?
Essential tool for convenient aquarium maintenance - magnetic algae scraper scrubs away algae and film without ever getting your hands wet.
Having a Mag-Float® on hand is as essential for aquarium maintenance as keeping a net and bucket near your aquarium. Scrub away algae without ever getting your hands wet, thanks to its clever magnet-on-magnet design.
Simply drag the no-scratch, felt-lined handle, and inside your aquarium, the scrubber follows, cleaning as it goes. Better yet, if the magnets separate, the scrubber floats right back to the surface, so you'll never have to dig around on the bottom. Models available for either
glass or acrylic aquariums.

Tips from our Techs
Because you never have to reach into the aquarium, Mag-Floats prevent toxic lotions or soap residue on your skin from getting in your aquarium. They keep your hands dry, and you don't ever have to worry about losing the scraper on the bottom because it floats when not attached to the magnet through the glass.
Instructions for Use:
Clean the outside aquarium surface thoroughly before each use.
Do NOT use Mag-Float® above waterline or on dry glass.
Use Mag-Float® only on aquarium material, size, and thickness of glass specified.
Remove all debris from the Mag-Float® prior to use.
Leave the Mag-Float® attached to the aquarium surface.
DO NOT place magnets together outside of the aquarium after its initial use, unless:
Magnets are completely dry. For longer durability, maintain the felt on the magnet's dry side (logo side that is placed on the exterior aquarium surface). This portion of the magnet does not float.
KEEP THE Mag-Float® AWAY FROM CHILDREN and electronic devices such as computers or pace makers.
Instructions on replacing the Mag-Float® Pad/Felt
Note:
Felt is applied to the magnet that contains the Mag-Float® logo.
Pad is applied to the magnet that does not contain the Mag-Float® logo.
Step 1
Remove old Pad/Felt entirely without damaging the plastic surface of the magnet.
Step 2
Apply mineral spirits on a cloth and rub plastic surface until all excess glue is removed (glove use recommended).
Step 3
Wait until plastic surface is completely dry before applying new Pad/Felt.
Step 4
Peel back paper backing from new Pad/Felt approximately a quarter of the way.
Step 5
Line up the new Pad/Felt with the plastic surface area of the magnet.
Step 6
Apply pressure to the Pad/Felt area that has been peeled off so it glues onto the plastic surface of the magnet.
Step 7
Apply pressure to the rest of the new Pad/Felt as you slowly remove the rest of the paper backing. This will help prevent any air bubble to be formed between the plastic surface and the Pad/Felt.

If I had known how good these little things work, I would have bought one of these ages ago. This makes tank cleaning 100 times easier. No wet hands, no straining your arm over the wall of the tank and trying to reach all the way to the bottom of the tank. This is definately one of the best tools for aquarium cleaning that you can buy. It almost makes scrubbing the tank fun!
Amazing little tool. Wish I had thought of the idea years ago! It cleans better than the old one I was using (fishing line tied to it) and it holds snug against the tank during storage. In my mind it should be a part of every new tank along with the heater, thermometer, etc.
They work awesome unless you get them into the sand or gravel and then they will scratch, so be careful. The replacement pad sets are useless for the inside pad because you can't get the glue off. I tried several solvents include what the instructions say to use. The outside pad is easily replaceable since the glue for it comes off easy.
