In the market for a new magnetic glass cleaner

[Fish Keeper82]

Tunze Care Magnet or Flipper???? I can't decide. Which should I get?

 

[Becks]

I like my tunze it's great and I've not got a single scratch on my tank

How long have you been using it?

 

[Dkuhlmann]

I've got a Flipper but now wish that I had bought the Tunze model instead. From the video's I've seen of them they're a lot better than the Flipper IMO.

How long have you been using it?

5 months I think, maybe a little longer, it comes with a razor blade attachment and I've not needed to use it.

I like the scraper on the flipper a lot, never even use the cloth part as the scraper part cleans just as well, and can't get any sand pieces stuck in it. I've gotten a random scratch from a magfloat before without even getting close to the sand. Still don't know how it happened, but it's turned me off from the velcrow scrubby part.

Got a flipper a couple months ago, wish I got it sooner. The thing is awesome.

I like my Flipper

Flipper here as well. Works good and has a slim profile so you can get it between things that are fairly close to the glass.

 

[seamonster124]

Flipper all the way

 

[Dmorty217]

Neither. Buy once and buy a MightyMagnet

 

[Mishri]

how is the mighty magnet different from like the magfloat or other style magnetic cleaner?

What all of them said, for all the same reasons

 

[soulpatch]

I have both and use both though I only use my flipper for 2 areas where I have the rocks closer to the glass. Everywhere else and around the sand bed I prefer the Tunze. Less chance to pick something up in the tunze vs the flipper BUT it is a larger profile so if you have tight quarters the flipper is the way to go.

Tunze Care, no question. I have a Flipper, but relegated it to the softwater 54 g.

 

[Bent]

After my magfloat scratched the daylights out of my glass, I'll never own another pad scrubber.

Tunze care magnet all the way. No more risk of scratches.

My only complaint with it is that the handle is skinny and hard to operate if you have gorilla hands like me.

I added some strips of duct tape to mine to make the outer handle bulkier. I only have it on the tank when I am using it so I dont care that the outer handle looks fugly. LOL

Flipper, very convenient
