Instructions
Recommend to be used on aquariums up to 10 gallons, with a surface thickness up to 3/16”.
- 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.
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.
- Remove old Pad/Felt entirely without damaging the plastic surface of the magnet.
- Apply mineral spirits on a cloth and rub plastic surface until all excess glue is removed (glove use recommended).
- Wait until plastic surface is completely dry before applying new Pad/Felt.
- Peel back paper backing from new Pad/Felt approximately a quarter of the way.
- Line up the new Pad/Felt with the plastic surface area of the magnet.
- Apply pressure to the Pad/Felt area that has been peeled off so it glues onto the plastic surface of the magnet.
- 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.

Disappointed
I've always used & trusted mag-floats over the years for my aquariums & they have always worked great & lasted a long time, but this one fell short. The felt on
I've always used & trusted mag-floats over the years for my aquariums & they have always worked great & lasted a long time, but this one fell short. The felt on the side that goes outside the tank is rolling off & the glue that holds the felt on has left residue on the side of my tank. And the magnet is always letting go of the inside of the tank, as if it isn't very strong. Faulty made?
This sucked. I didn't work like I hopped it would
this sucked. I was really disappointed It didn't work at all on cleaning its so light it comes apart a lot. My old one worked a lot better this one not so much

Purchased medium and mini magfloats. Medium seems to work fair if algae build up is not too heavy. I am slowly getting a handle on this build up, and this device
Purchased medium and mini magfloats. Medium seems to work fair if algae build up is not too heavy. I am slowly getting a handle on this build up, and this device will help maintain my 8 gal tank after that.
WORKS GREAT
They float which is better than the ones I used in the 70s.
