Scratched Glass!! by JASON RUPINSKI

Comments: I used the Magnavore 2er on my 125 for a couple months, and I noticed that the inside pad was wearing quite a bit, so, I replaced the pads. The brand new pads, straight out of the package, first time used put two huge gashes in the outside of my tank. I tried buffing and polishing the scratches out but they were two deep. It was a great tank, but now it's been reduced to sump duty as the scratches look horrible. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This is by far the most superior acrylic cleaner I have used. It is well worth the extra money as the adage "you get what you pay for" certainly applies in this case. I have tried 3 other types of cleaners (all indicated they were "acrylic-safe") and NONE of them performed the way this one does. One of the features I like is its ability to clean the round "corners" found in many acrylic tanks. I would definitely purchase this again... I just wish I had purchased the magnavore before the others that will soon be heading to a landfill. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: It works great. I am using it on a 300 gallon acrylic aquarium that is 1 inch thick. Only thing, I wish it would float. Inside magnet could stand to be a little larger to cover areas past the reachable parts of the face of the aquarium. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This has scratched my Straphire Glass tank twice with pretty large scratches. This is a brand new tank and I have cleaned this magnet before every glass cleaning. Don't Buy:( I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Phenomenal!!! by DUSTIN EBY

Comments: I have a 225 gallon acrylic reef tank and the only place i have algae is on the acrylic. I would get these brown spots that were calcified and a bear to scrub them off that it could easily take a couple of hours with the scrub brush. My magnet that I had at the time wasn't helpful at all. So I finally took the plunge and bought the Magnavore and to my surprise, I was able to clean all of the surfaces in the matter of 15 minutes and they looked better than ever. The price was definitely a little hard to swallow, but the time it saved me on its first use already proved its worth in gold. Now I am going to use the scratch kit with the magnet to get rid of some small scratches inside of the tank. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

shark magnet by AUDREY's tank

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 1/22/2008 from CRESCENT CITY, CA UNITED STATE

Comments: The manager at an aquarium store suggested this magnet to me stating that it was the strongest magnet he had used. After trying it in my reef tanks, I agree. It cleans the tank with one pass over the algae, rather than 2 or 3 times that my other magnets require. If you have weak hands don't put the magnets together, you might not be able to get them apart! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Good, but bulky magnet cleaner by MICHAEL GARRETT

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 10/24/2007 from FISHERS, IN UNITED STATES

Comments: I am using this product to clean my 55g glass reef aquarium. It is definitely a strong magnet cleaner and really gets the job done. The extended reach is excellent for cleaning around trim & the hood. However, the magnet quite large. The external magnet is a little big to be comfortable in my hand, and the internal component is bulkier and thicker than the Magnavore 1 it is replacing. This means all of the live rock must be further away from the glass than previously. Also, if you leave the magnet in the tank continuously like I do, it is more noticeable than the smaller one. Overall, a very good product. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great on acrylic by Paul

Comments: This is the perfect match for 1" acrylic, just make sure you only move it along the long edge. If you move it vertically/along the short edge, the inner magnet may fall off. I also have the Magnavore 10, which, while strong enough to move in any direction you choose, is also extremely difficult to move at all, even for someone 6'2" who spends a lot of time at the gym. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
