The "Care Magnet" is a breath of fresh air in the field of aquarium pane cleaner design, consisting of an ergonomic handle and special plastic blades made of wear-resistant high performance plastic. The patented slim Care Magnet is significantly more compact than conventional algae magnets with a large cleaning surface, it is unobtrusive and therefore able to remain within the aquarium without disrupting the overall scenery.

• Glass thickness from 6mm (1/4") to max. 10mm (3/8")
• Width 45mm (1.77 in.), length 78mm (3 in.)
• Including a replacement plastic blade.

Why care?

This window pane cleaner doesn't cause any scratches on internal aquarium panes, glass or acrylic. The inner magnet is more than 3mm away from the aquarium and thus prevents the jamming of the aquarium sand. The two plastic blades remove the algae considerably better from the glass panes than a flat cleaning surface - almost as good as a sharp metal blade. The life of a blade is from several months up to approx. one year. The low flow resistance during the cleaning with a simultaneous high magnetic coupling, makes a separation of the magnet nearly impossible.
The large blade should only be modified with the included stainless steel blade for aquarium glass panes with particularly tough algae, e.g. older deposits on the side walls or thick calcareous algae.

We need to see a demo of this Tunze care magnet nano.

Been waiting for this. Thanks

One question - can it handle light-to-moderate coraline buildup when used as a magnet scraper, or is that when you have to get you hand wet?

Tunze makes a stainless steel blade that you can pop on there for coralie algae and use in the magnetic mode. We'll test her out tomorrow and see how it works. Knowing Tunze they used really strong magnets that will have lots of power.

Cool... will check back in. I'd also be interested in finding out if the plastic can cope with small spots on its own.

Update on the blade from tunze: The Nano version doesn't have a stainless blade, only the larger ones will.

Really been keeping an eye on this, I hope it works better than the mag float, and keeps my from breaking out a razor blade.

Done. Sorry a little shaky image stabilization doesn't work when HDR is on ( new phone camera learning curve)

Thanks for the video Steve. How thick is the glass that you're testing the magnet on?

It was the IM 16 so 5.1 mm

 

Sold out already! We sold our entire inventory over the weekend these are popular!

 

We will have more in on Thursday

Care Magnets are back in stock!

Do these do a general job of basic "cleaning" along with scraping algae? The NanoMag I bought from you guys can do a reasonable job of basic cleaning but creates a sizable earthquake in moving it around my BioCube.

[StevieT]

You can use it for both but it is larger than a nano mag so I would still use both. The nanomag is so small I have a hard time seeing it causing an "earthquake". I barely see it moving any water in my tank.

[jgaepi]

In my opinion, it isn't the magnet that it is doing it, it is because so many more passes are required, which equals more back/forth movement, which gets everything shaking.
