Product Description
Unique design prevents scratching of the glass and maximizes the force on the cleaning blades. The magnet itself is 3mm from the glass, only the cutting edges of the blades make direct contact. Additionally the use of a short blade and a long blade creates a varying pressure so aggressive detail cleaning may be done with the short blade and the wide blade handles general clean up. Additionally a stainless steel blade can be fitted to the wide blade for heavy jobs. Note: only the short blades are acrylic safe, scope of Delivery includes 2 short blades, 2 long blades and 1 stainless blade, 2 blades must be used to avoid damage. Care magnet long is suitable for 3/8-1/2" glass or acrylic.

I have the model for thinner glass, and then I purchased this one for my brother and sister-in-law for their little fish breeding business.
What's fun about these, is that you can do the entire tank without reaching in to collect the inside piece--because if you do it right ---go slowly around the corners--and the magnets will part and then re-attach ---- the inside part won't fall off. And if you do it wrong, and it does fall down in the tank--you can use the magnet on the outside part to re-attract the inside part and still not have to reach in the tank ( :
One caveat with the 1/2 glass version--you can really snap your fingers if you let the magnets come together with a finger in the way.
I also store these with an old rag wrapped around each part so they don't stick together in the box .Watch your fingers--Chistmas night when showing my brother how fabulous they were--before I even got to the tank I snapped myself ( : Still love these things. They do a really good job and are so much faster then the scraping method , and are 100% better than the older style magnetic scrapers (most fish-keepers have a pile of useless ones). Good stuff
With this unit I love how the only contact with the glass (on the inside of the tank) is the scrapers, no there is little risk of sand getting stuck on a part that doesn't have any function. It is a high quality unit and I am impressed by how well it works.
The only down side is that it doesn't float, so if you lose it on a corner or something you might have to stick your arm in to pull it out. Overall I am happy with this unit, cleaning the glass is a breeze now!
While it does a better job of not picking up sand or other things which might scratch your glass I still recommend taking it out between uses. After leaving mine in for a few weeks I notice little balls of something attracted to the magnet and I've seen these be enough to scratch the glass.
If it would only float it would be my favorite scraper ever. I have a 4 ft deep tank and I've had to fish it out of the bottom numerous times when I started scraping too fast or I messed up the transition around a corner of the tank.
The best tip I can give is to put a paper towel underneath the pieces on the outside of the tank. You'll end up cleaning the glass while you scrape the inside.

"salta" gli angoli dell'acquario pertanto è comodissimo da usare senza dover toccare l'acqua.
calamite molto forti e ottimo per pulire. Ho un acquario d'acqua dolce, non ho messo le lame per il vetro in quanto già pulisce molto bene solo con la plastica.
assolutamente consigliato!
