Tips for optimal Flipping! the Corner flip is a no-brainer!
1) Flip in areas of the tank with low water currents.
2) Flip near the top of the tank away from rocks, sand and gravel. We like corner flipping best (see video)
3) Remember when flipping to keep the top of the handle lined up with the top of the inside unit.
(Note that during the actual Flip we move the handle down slightly to track the slow descent of the Flipper)

I was a little skeptical purchasing this algae scraper, due to the high price. Had purchased all the old Mag Floats in the past and they always scratched up the glass. This magnet works great!! I’m using it on my 125. You can clean right down into the sand bed, and it won’t scratch. I even did the back of my tank. Very happy with my purchase.Hide

OK, $80 seems like slit for an algae scrapper 🤔, but remember this is probably the tool you use most. If you need one this size you already have invested slot in the hobby. Pros- works well as an algae scrubber -Great to have blade end for more tenacious deposits and bottom inch near substrate - thinner than magnafloat, this has made the difference for me of being able to clean a few areas vs leaving them alone and scrapping manually Cons- making it flip took me awhile, it tends to spin. If you can not get it to flip just bring it to the top and do it manually In conclusion if you are looking for an algae scrapper for a large tank you will not do better than this Hide
PROS
Works well on thick glass. I have a 3/4" thick glass tank.
CONS
Watch fingers.
REVIEW
I purchased this magnet cleaner to replace an older magnet cleaner. It is a great cleaner. I like the option to use either the pad or the scrapper. The from the first day I got it it has been a great product. Except when I pulled it from my tank and got pinched be the two halves coming together.
The flipper algae cleaner is magnificent. It cleans algae off glass aquarium with ease also with just a flip you can clean coraline algae.great tool for aquarium maintenance.
