Is this a glass magnet or acrylic? Or both?
Has anyone used it on acrylic? I have a magfloat, and I have to say it sucks big time! I use it to hold nori now.
Anyone have a link to one I can check out?
I remember using my magfloat once early in the morning before my lights were on, and i had a granual of sand stuck on the scrubbing side...when I got home and the lights were on, whole tank was scratched.:mad2:

I think the grain of sand problem could happen with any cleaner..
Anyone have any opinions on the nimble cleaner?

Yes, they are awesome aren't they Sang. So much so I started a thread about them as well a few weeks back. Cleaning my tanks have never been easier, especially with the Easy Blade holder attached for easy removal of coraline algae and really tough-to-remove dark green algae.

Give it a try. It's the best bang-for-the-buck $12 investment (as well as the magnet cleaner) I've ever made in this hobby.

I have the regular nimble and the super nimble. Both are awesome. The nimble goes where the hammerhead can't.
Hammerhead is awesome

When I had glass, I used a really cheap ($15?) magnetic cleaner that had a plastic clip-on algae scraper. It was a blocky blue one that had a curved edges for going around the tank corners. With the scraper on, it could remove even caked on coraline in a few passes.
With acrylic now, I am using magfloats, and they do suck. Looking for a better solution. Since acrylic scratches so easily, I guess the cleaning surfaces can't be as aggressive as a glass magnet.
