The Algae Cleaning Magnets are an easy solution to effectively remove algae from inside of the aquarium walls. One piece has a scrubbing side for removing algae inside of the aquarium, while the other part magnetically attaches from the outside. Each algae cleaning magnet comes with one pad for glass aquariums and one pad for acrylic aquariums. The inside scrubber magnet is bottom-weighted that will fall straight down if separated. The bowed bottom design allows the scrub pad to rest above the gravel for easy retrieval while reducing the risk of scratching the aquarium walls. Three different sizes to accommodate various glass and acrylic aquariums.

Great for Keeping the Tank Clean!
This algae cleaning magnet is a solid tool for keeping my aquarium glass spotless! It works well on both glass and acrylic, and the small size is perfect for my tank. The magnet strength is decent, so itâs easy to clean those hard-to-reach spots without getting your hands wet.
Only downside: you have to be careful not to let the magnet come apart while cleaning, as it can be a little tricky to snap back together. But other than that, it does the job and keeps my fish tank looking great!

A Must-Have for dealing with algae issues
I purchased the Aqueon Aquarium Algae Cleaning Magnet for my glass tank as I had a build of algae on my glass tank. I am impressed with its performance. This tool makes algae removal effortless and keeps my aquarium looking clean without the need to get my hands wet. The magnets are strong and move smoothly across the glass and scrubbing away algae without scratching the surface. It comes with two pads one for the acrylic and one for the glass tank. I highly recommend it if you are dealing with algae issues.

Works well but does not float to the top when released.
Magnet grabs well and holds onto the cleaner side. Cleans glass very well, I have only had issues around the heater and filter neck. This is not a issue with the Cleaner but just objects in the way.
I would give the product 5 stars if it floated to the top when released but that is not a huge issue.

Good addition to the cleaning
This works wonders. It comes with a pad for both glass and acrylic tanks. The magnets are strong.

Small, strong magnet, does what it says
I like that this came with two different attachments for different tank types (glass vs acrylic). The magnet is strong and the product is sturdy, does exactly what’s intended. My fish is quite happy with the clearer tank as well!

It’s Ok
This worked ok for my tanks, it required me to go over the same spot a couple of times to actually get the spot, but it eventually does its job. I wish I would have gotten one that collected the algae because this one just puts it back into the water, so I always have to clean after.

Great product
Got this in one days and cleaned the Glass of my hexagon 50 gallon tank in minutes.
So , so easy and effective…
Even went passed all the corners…
Buy it your need it…
Now all my smallest have to worry about the stuff inside the tank…

Acuario de 45 litros y funciona muy bien.
El imán es potente.
Viene con dos tipos de limpiadores uno con una especie de fieltro y otro con un cepillo de finas cerdas
Mr Luke Murray –
Bought the medium version which is ideal for 10mm glass. Cleans the glass well and, so far, it hasn’t become detached from the outside magnet. It’s quite hard work though! The only problem, which is minor, is that the inside magnet tends to vibrate or oscillate as it travels, unless you move extremely slowly. This sets up small pressure waves through the water, enough to make the heater elements wobble when you’re in the vicinity, and it freaks the fish out a bit, but only while it’s going on. Overall, though, I’m very pleased with it.

El limpiador trae unas bases intercambiables para acuario de cristal o de acrilico.

I needed something that would help me easily clean my aquarium as it’s over 2′ deep and my pleco weren’t keeping up. Looked around and this seemed to be the best product for its price. Good size and powerful magnet(watch your fingers). Used it on a 120G tank with 1/3″ glass and worked great! Glass pad was needed as the blue acrylic pad was too soft. Takes a few swipes to clear thicker algae but not at all a hassle. Very easy to turn corners and switch sides. Haven’t had any issues with the magnets detaching either.
