Anyone using magfloat (or something like that) to clean ur tank glass? Is it useful?

def helps me alot, but rem to get big ones if your glass is thick, not those puny tiny magnet cleaners. And you can get those dishwashing sponges, which come with one side soft sponge and the other side coarser rough sponge, tear off the rough surface, and put the rough surface on the magnet cleaner, it really helps to clean your algae off very thoroughly with a few swipes.

Be warned. The green sponge used for scrubbing pots cannot be used safely in tanks. THEY CAN SCRATCH EVEN GLASS!!! I scratched the glass of my old fish tank when I used that!

I believe they may have fused some metal or very hard compounds into the pad material for longevity/stronger wear and tear resistance.

Mag floats rock! Get the biggest one for thick glass. DON'T get your fingers caught between them. You may even end up in hospital. Serious. Seperating the two halves can be a great workout though!

I got a similar type from Carrefour which costs little and works well...They come in different sizes too...

hhmmm maybe those are the specific rough ones sold by itself and not those that come with soft sponge? cuz the ones I use aren't that tough, haven't had any scratched glass and can see the sponge "smoothen" out after a while?
