You would have to put an acrlic cleaning pad on the inside to protect the acrylic, but you could still use it.

Jeni,
When you came by my place for the LR, you saw my tanks. Both are acrylic.
I use the tools specially made for cleaning acrylic - I have a Kent pro-scaper with the plastic acrylic cleaning blade and use a Magnavore magnet cleaner with the acrylic cleaning pad on the inside. I, admittedly, amd not as careful as I should be when cleaning the tank and deservedly have a few scratches in the viewing panes.
I feel that if I cleaned the panes more often (like before the coraline starts to grow) that I would not have as many of these scratches. Most are the result of having to scrape the thickened algae off. If you are dilligent and careful, and acrylic tank can last you a lifetime.
Spot on advice. The Kent Pro scraper is a MUST IMO. I use both of the above (different type of magnet I belive) but I stop 4" above the sand line with the magnet and use the scraper for the rest. And if I need to get coraline off I use the scraper as well. Works wonders and no scracthing. Just make sure you keep the blade good.
As for the magfloat. As DD said above you would need an acrylic safe pad. But as long as its large enough of a magnet you would be fine with it. Although it might turn out that you need a larger magnet since you are going from a 55 glass tank to an acrylic tank.
Dont worry about the hijack, it keeps the thread at the top. O)
