Floating magnet thats acrylic safe?

[jwheeler]

I've got a new 180g acrylic tank, after always having glass, and I'm looking for a floating mag to clean the sides of the tank. I was looking at the Mag-Floats on Premium Aquatics page, and it had one review and the guy said it scratched his brand new tank the first time he tried it.
Anyone else have any experiences with a acrylic safe floating mag?
Thanks

I use the algae free brand, they wont scratch it as long as you dont get sand in the pad, and you will get some minor scratching from the pad, but you cant see it unless you were to empty the tank, the water wont let you see the scratches. With Acrylic tanks its something you have to live with, scratches are inevitable, even on glass really.

i use the one you are reffering to and it doesn't scratch my acrylic (or at least doesn't leave scratches that are visible when the water is in the tank).

I use the Tiger Shark on my acrylic. It does a great job. The replacement pads for acrylic are inexpensive and last a long time.

They have several sizes and names.
