Aqueon Algae Cleaning Magnet
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.

This magnet makes cleaning algae so much easier. I use it every week and it works perfectly on both glass and acrylic tanks. The scrub pad stays in place and doesn’t scratch the walls. Great value for the price.

I was skeptical at first, but after using it for a few weeks, I can’t imagine cleaning my tank without it. The magnetic attachment is strong and the scrubber stays down even when I remove it from the tank.

Works well for removing algae, especially on the back and sides of the tank. The acrylic pad fits perfectly. A little harder to find the right angle sometimes, but overall very effective.
