I have the BIGGEST!

MAGNET ... I just got my shipment from SaltySupply and opened it up to find the freakin biggest aquarium MAGNET I have ever seen. When I was ordering it I thought dam $100.00 for a magnet seems pretty high, but then I thought "well every thing in this hobby seems to be high" , so I thought it was just an expensive normal magnet. Never thought the dang thing would be as big at a beer bottle - LOL.

Does anyone have a similar situation - buying something online for your tank to discover it was way bigger then you imagined?

Wish you would have asked around the club. The algae free ones brs sell are slightly cheaper and u can easily replace scrubber pads when they run out. I use the hammerhead on my 180. Very strong magnets.

Those shark and hammerhead ones are so strong you're not supposed to put them together when they're not on a tank!

Yea Mike ... I had two present algae scrubbing magnets but had never purchased one (these came with the tanks) so I didn't know when ordering that large meant HUGE! Thought this was a no brainer purchase.

Yea there still good i use the magfloat small for my qt

but love my algae free hammerhead. Dont mean to sound like.it was a bad purchase i just think those algae free are better and cheap to change pads out.

I got my great white mag stuck together a few years back and had to ship it off and get it taken apart.

We had one like this on a tank for a Dr. and one of the nurses took the magnet out...well long story short it snapped shut on her thumb and broke it :/

LOL I so wasn't expecting a magnet scraper when I opened the thread :tongue:

That thing is pretty beastly though

I thought my Reef Oc skimmer was huge but that is one ridiculous magnet ... now we all know what a 'large plus +' looks like . LOL
