I've got 1/2" glass on my 210 and I use the flipper max. I've kept it fully submerged in my tank for just over a year and it still works like new and doesn't show any signs of corrosion. The most maintenance I've had to do to it was scraping the tiny tube worm shells off the underside of the blade because I was paranoid that one may scratch the glass.

I have the flipper nano. Been in my tank for months with no issues. I wouldn't get the nano again, only because the magnet isn't that strong. I would however get the next size up in a heart beat!

We are working on making a replacement kit for the felt pad and scrubber, but it won't be available for a few months.
I have replaced the felt on one of mine with just a piece of felt from a hobby store and double stick adhesive.
Or you can just wrap the handle in a cleaning cloth till we have our replacement kit ready
Sorry it's not the perfect solution but we will have it solved soon"

I already decided, I'll buy one. But do not know which model is recommended for my tank. It is 10mm glass. What model do you recommend?

I have mag floats and a Very nice Magnavore that does a really good job of cleaning the glass. However, when I purchased my Flipper, I was beyond pleased when I saw how easily it cleans the hard build up that you just cannot get off with a standard mag. I LOVE mine. that said, because I have a rimless tank, I pull mine after each use and stick it to my light that hangs above the tank. I didnt want to run the risk of the blade deteriorating.
I still use my magnavore and the mag float as well. just cause I like them.

Friends, and this another

They have used?
I heard that the way if it falls into the sand, it is not embedded no scratches the glass.

Hold on a sec, what am I missing. I have the Tunze care manet long and a bowfront tank. The tunze would transition over the corners w/o jacking up the silicone but I could never get the glass on the back wall due to my light hanger and plumbing. or the glass near the sandbed well. I bought the flipper and I keep it on one side of the tank, but I keep using my Tunze more often. Am I missing something about how cool this mag is? Is it b/c I have a bowfront that I don't see the $40 value in this? I have magnetic rockwork on my sides and back glass and have to maneuver around those all the time and this thing is a bit bulky. Plus the flipping is hard to get down. However, 3 months in and no rust or signs of wear and tear on the blade for me. Maybe I'm doing it wrong...

I'm looking at purchasing this mag cleaner but want to be sure it's safe for the seams on my 90G rimless Starphire system. Haven't found any related info so far in my searches. Anyone have any info or experience with use on rimless tanks with regard to stress on the seams? Many thanks for any info you can provide.

Funny only place I’ve found that sells it. Strange. I’ve never heard of this plac3 until I searched for the pads.
