AQUEON Cleaning Magnet (Small) – Easy Algae Removal for Aquariums
The Algae Cleaning Magnets provide an effective and simple way to remove algae from inside aquarium walls. One side features a scrubbing pad for cleaning the interior, while the magnetic side attaches securely from the outside of the tank.
Each magnet comes with one pad designed for glass aquariums and one for acrylic aquariums. The inside scrubber is bottom-weighted and will fall straight down if separated. The bowed bottom design allows the scrub pad to rest above the gravel, making it easy to retrieve without scratching the tank walls.

This magnet makes algae cleaning much easier. I use it every two weeks and it removes buildup without scratching the glass. The acrylic pad works well for my tank. It’s simple to use and stays attached securely.

Great for small tanks. The glass pad fits perfectly and the scrubbing side is effective. I like that it doesn’t require me to dip tools into the water. Just pull it in and scrub.
