Questions & Answers

11 Customer Questions


Can you leave it in the tank
Answer by ChewyApr 23, 2018
This product is safe to be left in the tank. If the magnets become separated, the inner cleaning magnet will sink to the bottom of the tank for easy retrieval instead of floating away.

Will this magnet leave any scratch marks on the aquarium?
Answer by ChewyOct 16, 2018
The magnet itself will not leave scratch marks in the aquarium. However, if it traps gravel or sand substrate between itself and the glass. This could cause scratching. For best results, clean only within 1/2" of the substrate with the cleaning magnet.

Does this require or have the option for replacement heads?
Answer by ChewyNov 01, 2019
At this time, replacements parts are not available for this product.

Will this work for a small plastic fish tank?
Answer by ChewyJun 06, 2019
This magnet was made to remove algae from the walls of glass or acrylic aquariums and will not work on plastic.

very good!

Be careful bc it does bring its self together fast! Comes with a cleaner for a regular glass or different class but honestly works great! (I did pinch my fingers a few times bc the magnets are strong as long as you both have them sitting on the glass, and slowly slide into each other will be fine but it helps clean the glass perfectly

Sturdy cleaner

I used this magnet cleaner on a large fish tank at my job and it worked well. The magnet is strong. It is somewhat difficult to drag around but it gets the job done.

Scrub the algae away

I recently bought this along with a new light for my aquarium. It is easy to use and functional. I don not have any issues with it scratching the surface or leaving any algae behind. My fish does not seem to mind it either. I would suggest this to my friends

cleaner skips when sliding across glass

Tried both pads the cleaner comes with and both different sides but when cleaning it aggressively skips and scares all of the fish.

Makes cleaning algae easier

I keep one of these in my 75 gallon planted goldfish tank, and it makes keeping the algae off the viewing side of the aquarium much easier and cleaner than when I used a wand to do the same. With having so many floaters on top (dwarf water lettuce), the algae wand was getting too difficult to maneuver. Plus, I always had to manage drippage when removing the wand and find a place to let it dry out between uses. Since this cleaning magnet stays in the tank, it eliminates such need. It also is already under the floaters so that I don't need to maneuver through and around them.

Hard to move and scared my fish

This magnet is extremely strong, with two attachments, an abrasive attachment for glass aquariums and a softer attachment for acrylic aquariums. I used this on my 55 gallon aquarium and it scared tf out of my fish. It is not a smooth path, often times it skips and shakes my entire aquarium. My fish were extremely stressed out, and started to jump. I would not recommend this. The magnet is too strong and does not smoothly clean the glass. Also it only works for soft algae.
