## Overview

The Aqueon Aquarium Algae Cleaning Magnet (Small) features a powerful magnetic grip paired with dual pads designed specifically for glass and acrylic tanks. Its weighted scrubber ensures it stays submerged and easy to retrieve, while the innovative bowed bottom design minimizes the risk of scratching aquarium walls. Compact and efficient, it’s the go-to tool for maintaining crystal-clear aquatic environments with minimal effort.

## Description

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.

Review: Good strong magnet - 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.
Review: Excellent edition for cleaning the tank - Bought this for a 30 gallon aquarium. It works exactly as described. We were quite impressed. It seems to be excellent quality and sticks to the glass. No problem. We use it every few days.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where do you get replacement pads? I can’t find them**
A: I am sorry to tell you. but you will find them hard to get as we discontinued the replacement pads in the past six months (timing varied by the pad).  The rationale was very few people ever replaced the pads which caused retailers to stop carrying them which of course led to us discontinuing when we ran out.

**Q: Does this work okay with a bowfront tank? I don't know if the curve of the glass would throw the magnet off or another detriment I am not foreseeing**
A: I am using a small magnet on a 70 gallon glass bow front.  I didn't think it would work, but after a little while the pad adjusted to the curve.  Use short strokes and it works great!

**Q: Replacement pad?**
A: You have to check with amazon or just by a new one

**Q: The instructions mentions a black cleaning pad for glass, but my package only came with the blue one? Is that normal?**
A: It should have came with 2 pads mine did

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good strong magnet
*by M***Y on 5 February 2020*

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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent edition for cleaning the tank

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great aquarium glass cleaner!
*by S***M on 2 June 2020*

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.
