Best Magnet cleaner

[Natural_Reefer]

I've used both. Flipper seems to work well initially but then the blade gets dull pretty rapidly (within a few months). The blades on the Tunze seem to last way longer.

I have both and Tunze with Metal blade is my favorite.

Tunze all day everyday pretty much most my equipment I’d recommend Tunze it’s made in Germany.

I use a flipper, works great to remove algae but be careful because it scratched my glass

How do you prevent scratches?

I won the Tunze care magnet from one of the recent giveaways and its easily the best one I've had. I have a flipper that works fine but this Tunze is just next level

I also just won one of the Tunze scrappers and I really like it. I still like my algae free a tiny bit more. Plus if you leave the scraper in the tank all the time the styrofoam float for the Tunze is hideous in my opinion.
If you want one that has a scrubber pad too get the algae free, but if someone prefers just the blade for scraping then the Tunze is better. In my tank I still use the algae free, but I don’t trust my wife to watch for the sand so if she scrapes the glass she uses the Tunze.

I am always careful about it having sand grains in between the magnet and glass before moving it. I think this is why it scratched it before!

wanted to add some update here.
I tested the Tunze cleaner, hammer head and Flipper side by side. Tunze beats the other two hands down. It’s the blade angle which does the trick. The magnet itself is the weakest, which is actually a plus as well. It is much less strenuous.

I am solely using Tunze since then. cleaning has been so easy and only takes a matter of mins. Once in a month, I put the blade in to scrub any stubborn areas. The blades are easiest to put on the Tunze.

Since I started to use Tunze, have couple of times that I used hammer head outside unit with Tunze blade to scrape some portions which were really stubborn. The outside unit of hammerhead has very strong magnet.

Hopefully this will prevent others from throwing a lot of dollars experimenting. Tunze is hands down the winner.

Which tunze model? How thick is your glass?

 

[SamsReef]

I did buy the one for 1 inch. My glass is 3/4 inch. I would recommend doing that for Tunze.
Hammerhead that I have is also rated for 1 inch thick glass.

Very informative poll and discussion, thanks!

Just got the Tunzie ….. it’s my first magnet cleaner and to me it seems perfect

I’m sure some others are great but I have no need to find out lol

 

[FishPham]

Mag float, but my hands are always in the tank so while in there, I use my magic eraser, so I don't get much use out of the mag float

The best glass cleaner and easiest cleaner and sleek is Tunze Magnet.

No other cleaner is even even comparable. Not even hand cleaning wand is as good.
