Automatic glass cleaner

Thats a great point. I’m trying to work into narrowing down what works for feeding but I have anthias and don’t want to starve them, I’ve definitely reduced my feedings and found what I think is a sweet spot for now. As for the mag cleaner I really need to find something that will just rip the glass off lol, I’m on my second Tunze and it’s still not enough I should have bought the stronger one right away.

Must admit that i prefer to feed heavily and then manage the results of that, fat fish, a large No3 RX and quite a bit GFO used up...

I have 2 mag cleaners on the tank, a Tunze Care Magnet which is good for quick wipe overs but isn't really strong enough for a deep clean and then a Flipper Max that takes more effort to clean with but does a better job (also floats vs the Tunze that doesn't)

@Krully I'm with you on cleaning the glass-I hate doing it and wish someone would come out with an affordable robot type cleaner that actually worked and wasn't "ugly". What size tank do you have Krully? Is it glass or acrylic? I've been using the Algae Free Hammerhead on my tank, which is 1/2" acrylic, and it does a great job however I probably should've bought the next size up to get that deeper scrubbing action but was worried it would scratch the acrylic.

I have a Reefer 350 so glass! I'll look into that, the flipper Max looks great but I have to pass the psychological barrier of dumping almost 100€ on a freaking magnet and a steel blade... I know this hobby is expensive but it's sometimes infuriating.

Reefer 350 = 12mm glass right ?

In that case the Flipper standard would be enough, the max would be way too strong.

I know what you mean on prices of magnet cleaners! Though mine works fine I have been looking at these guys and geez they're expensive! Mighty Magnets
