Best Magnet Glass cleaner? How do you clean your glass?

[psusocr]

As the title suggests how are big tank owners keeping their glass clean? Im using a larger magfloat that doesnt really clean any of the small spot algae off of my glass. Is their a powerful enough magnet cleaner out there to REALLY clean glass well?

Right now i use the magfloat to clean the easy stuff then i have to go in the tank with a sponge and scrub away!

The magnet scrapper alone will not work. I use to have a long handle blade to clean the glass of my tank until I found this http://www.easybladeusa.com/ Works like a charm. You just super glue the blade attachemnt to your magfloat and clean the glass and replace the blade as needed.

I think the brand is called Algae Free but they make these magnets that are kinda encased in wood...on the outside but they work really really well, I am using the "Tiger Shark" model and it is so strong. It was around 100$ but i honestly recomend them. They work so well. Type in algae free on google.

i use a magnavore - its pretty tough, but occasionally i need to pull out the scraper if its an area that doesnt get normal attention.

im curious to get feedback on those easyblades...i see there is one that fits on the magnavores...does it work with coraline?

Do mighty magnets get coraline or hard to get algae?

+3 on mighty magnets. I do have algae free as well for my 180, but the mighty magnet is stronger and cleans a larger surface.I clean mine before I get any coraline, so I can't comment on that.

No problem. Just use the scraper pad that comes with it. Removing coralline algae is a piece of cake.

i bought two from algae free.. i have 3/4 glass and the great white is amazing, but way too strong, its like a shoulder workout and shakes the tank.. so i got the tigerfloat model now, works well, wish it was 10% stronger!

O.k i just ordered the Mighty Magnet F-3 since i have 3/4" and 1" thick glass on my aquarium. I will be sure to let everyone know how this thing works. My front glass is pretty clean but does have some "alge spots" my back glass is similiar but has some coraline on it that just set it..

Yup, the mighty magnet pads are great. I use the Super Algae Cutter Pocket most, it seems to be the most versatile of the bunch.
