Comments: Very clever product. Easy to flip around and very easy to move from pane to pane. The pad/scraper side has an almost nuetral buoyancy that makes it very easy to manuever. No more reaching into the tank if it comes apart. Very strong magnet keeps it easy control. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: The plastic scraper edge of this product is practically useless on coralline algae or any sort of encrusting algae. The flip feature is tricky, you'll find yourself chasing the thing all over trying to get it to flip. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: With all of the magnet cleaners on the market, I decided to go with what looked to be the best and I am glad I did. The Mag Flip is very powerful and works great at removing tough algae, although I have not tried it on coraline algae. The flip does take practice, and the wet side of the unit does not float so be careful the first few times you use it. Once you get the hang of it fliping it in the tank is easy and fun. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Great in the beginning by DANIEL GARCIA

Comments: I was disappointed to find that after it's initial use (which was quite impressive) the following use of the scraper just did not do the job. I replaced the scraper (purchasing replacements a MUST) helped but never did as well as the first use. Almost like the magnet weakened and I do not leave it in the aquarium which should never be done with any magnetic cleaner. In addition, the "flip" is impossible to do with a high flow reef tank so turn off your circulation pumps before trying. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Finally, something thin by Ford Woodie

Comments: Very cool device. It is so thin it can get behind rocks and coral. I can use it in my round corners by scraping sideways, cannot do that with a rod scraper. It took a little practise to learn to flip it by now, piece of cake. I mostly use the scraper as it does it all. My tank is 10 mm so at the upper limit for the stated power, but it works great. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Great idea! Finally a thin inner half that allows clearance from those close rocks and corals. really great for that stubborn stuff. Just a little too large for my 24 gallon nano, so I don't keep it in the tank, ready for instant use. Suggest a smaller size be made. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This is a great low profile glass cleaner. The plastic blade side is only marginally useful on coralline algae. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Poor Performance by CHRIS DELANY

Posted on 11/25/2008 from RICHARDSON, TX UNITED STATES

Comments: I have a 175 bow front and the mag-flip isnt strong enough to do a good job scraping. Maybe it will work better on smaller tanks but does not work well on the 1/2" glass on my tank. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Flips back and forth to scraper in tank from changing handle around...very unique...fun to play with in the tank. Scraper works on coraline algae on my 50gal tank though sometimes have to go over it a few times....still better than reaching in tank like I used to. Super low profile so can clean all kinds of previous unreached places. Not sure how long scrapers last yet. Cool product so far! Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
