First off, the magnets on this aquarium cleaner are seriously strong. One side has a hook-like texture similar to Velcro, while the other side is soft and smooth, almost like microfiber. While this is designed for fish tanks, I actually tried using it to clean the inside of my car windows, especially in those hard-to-reach spots near the dashboard, and it worked surprisingly well!The magnetic strength is impressive—it sticks firmly to both sides of the glass, making cleaning super efficient. Occasionally, the magnets separated when moving too quickly, but once I figured out the right pace, that wasn’t an issue. A cool bonus is that it cleans both the inside and outside of the glass at the same time, so you don’t have to guess where streaks are coming from.For aquarium use, I can’t say for sure how well it scrapes algae, but it seems strong enough to do the job. The Velcro-like material might let some slime slip through, but you could easily wrap a cloth around it for a more customized clean. The plastic casing looks nice and feels good, though I do wonder if it might crack if dropped from a decent height. Not a deal-breaker, but something to keep in mind. Overall, this is a powerful and versatile cleaning tool!What I Reviewed: Magnetic Aquarium Fish Tank Glass Cleaner - Exquisite & Super Strong Magnetism, Double Side Floating Algae Scraper Cleaning Tools for 0.1 to 0.7 Inch Glass Tanks (XL)

I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew. This sucker is seriously powerful. Darn near lost some fingers while putting the two halves back together. I'm a strong guy, and had to really fight with it to get them apart. I opted for the Large size, thinking it would be good for "up to" a certain thickness, but now I'm thinking it's so powerful it'll break the glass on my much smaller tank with thin glass. I can see how this will be insanely useful if I get larger, thicker tanks (something I very much want to do again), so I'm giving this the thumbs up, but with a warning: buy small if you're unsure. I may just grab the little one myself later, and keep the large one in reserve for future tanks.And holy cow, I can't even imagine how strong the XL would be! Yikes!

Review Of:Magnetic Aquarium Fish Tank Glass Cleaner - Exquisite & Super Strong Magnetism, Double Side Floating Algae Scraper Cleaning Tools for 0.1 to 0.7 Inch Glass Tanks (Mini/M/L/XL)Visit the fishkeeper StoreI absolutely love this glass cleaner! I bought the XL and it is perfect for my 220 gallon tank. Other magnetic cleaners seemed to have to weak of a magnet for use on my 1/2" glass. The magnet on this one is SUPER STRONG! Matter of fact, be careful of that strength and don't let a finger get in between both parts or you may just injure yourself. Even the directions warn you not to do this. I accidently let the two pieces come together, without the little separator that it comes shipped with. The magnet was so strong, I couldn't twist the two apart, but had to slide a flat chisel between the 2 pieces to finally get them apart. THAT is strong!The cleaning ability is awesome, although I have to say, the scrapers on these kinds of clearers are just so-so. For touch algae, I prefer a razor blade scraper.The Felt and scrounge pad on this appear to be well made and durable. It is super easy to use and a great value for large tanks.I think I have tried 4-6 magnetic cleaners similar to this one and this one is by far my favorite.

This little algae cleaner is so easy to use and such a game changer! I have 36 gallon bowfront tank and despite frequent cleanings and the presence of snails in my tank, I still get some algae buildup over time. I have used a handheld algae scraper, but then I’m sticking my whole arm into the tank and I know that’s not great for my fish or their environment. I’ve had magnetic algae scrapers in the past, but none that worked nearly as well as this one works. I think it is the addition of that little scraper blade on the “front” of the magnet that really gets all of the algae off the tank. Also, because I have large structures and plants in my tank, using a handheld scraper, it isn’t always possible or convenient to get around the rocks and plants. With the magnetic scraper, I can get everywhere and get all the algae off the sides—even in the tight spots.I ordered the “mini” size scraper after a good amount of research before placing my order. Make sure to order the size that is appropriate to the thickness of the glass in your tank. I looked up my tank on the manufacturer’s website and found out how thick the glass was and I’m glad I did, because had I ordered a larger size, the magnet might’ve been much too strong. I don’t think it would have been strong enough to break the glass, but I’m not willing to take that chance. Again, I have a 36 gallon bowfront tank and the mini did a fantastic job of cleaning it in a relatively short amount of time. The other nice benefit of this small algae scraper is that it easily cleaned the curved part of my bowfront tank. That is something that I’ve always struggled with when using a handheld scraper.If I have any criticisms of this product at all, it is that the instructions were a little difficult to understand when it came to attaching the scraper to the magnet. I tried a couple of different ways before I figured it out, but it really only took me a couple of minutes. Everything else about this is fantastic. I only wish I had thought to take before and after photos. The difference was a little astonishing.
