Aqueon Algae Cleaning Magnet Small
The Algae Cleaning Magnets are an easy solution to effectively remove algae from inside of the aquarium walls. One piece has a scrubbing side for removing algae inside of the aquarium, while the other part magnetically attaches from the outside. Each algae cleaning magnet comes with one pad for glass aquariums and one pad for acrylic aquariums. The inside scrubber magnet is bottom-weighted that will fall straight down if separated. The bowed bottom design allows the scrub pad to rest above the gravel for easy retrieval while reducing the risk of scratching the aquarium walls. Three different sizes to accommodate various glass and acrylic aquariums.

This magnet makes cleaning my aquarium much easier. I can just attach it from the outside and scrub the inside without touching the glass. The pad for glass works well and doesn’t scratch the surface. It’s a small but effective tool.

I’ve used it for a few weeks now and it’s been very helpful in removing algae buildup. The magnetic attachment is reliable and the scrubbing pad is soft enough not to damage the glass.

Great product for maintaining a clean tank. The design allows me to clean the inside without having to reach into the water. The acrylic pad fits perfectly and works smoothly.
