Mag-Float Glass Aquarium Cleaner, Small

Product Information

Some scrapers or scrubber pads are suitable for glass tanks, others are made for acrylic tanks, and some have options to be used for both. For the most part, I really liked this Hygger cleaning kit. The adjustable handle is very stable and can be set from 23-34 inches (58-86 centimeters) long. When using either the mag float or the steel trowel you have to slightly tip up the edge of the tool in the direction you're moving it. Slightly tip up one edge of the steel trowel and while pressing downwards on the trowel, move the trowel in the direction of the edge you have tipped upwards.

You also have to exert some downward pressure on each tool to get a smooth result. The amount of downward pressure will be directly related to how soft or hard the concrete is at that time.We can only offer to replace damaged glass items if we are notified within 48 hours of you receiving the delivery. We cannot replace glass bulbs/tubes unless they become faulty within the initial 14 day period.

It was really hard to just let my tanks look terrible for two weeks, but I did it in the name of helping my readers. So, I hope this helps!

Make sure to follow all the manufacturer’s instructions. Be especially careful while cleaning along the substrate. Getting even a single grain of sand trapped between the scrubbing pad and the glass can cause major scratching. How to Choose an Algae Scraper
