Big time cleaning magnets...worth the $$$?
 

Like the topic states, are these $200+ cleaning magnets really worth the price? Are they capable of removing coralline? Thanks in advance...

Mason, I asked the same question a few months back. You should dig it up. Basically the people that had bought these magnets were very happy with them. I decided to get the Mag Float instead and I am very happy with it. And it does remove coralline also. I got the F-350 for 28.95

I have a Mag Float in my trash bin if you want to pay shipping. :lol: Thick glass needs more.

The Magnavore (size you need varies), or pretty much any equivalent earth magnet is awesome. I found out some good ideas for the replacement pads as well.

Deb, how thick is your glass?? Mine is 1/2" and the Mag Float is great! Never come apart yet!

I'll second the mag float.. I have two one for each tank and they have been sitting in the tanks for over 6 months now with out a problem

I've got a Magnavore 6 and my wife can't even move it on the glass...I do have a MagFloat on the same tank for the "quick clean before company comes over".... because the Magnavore is a bit difficult to move.... It's great though...

No problem with shipping, I would be happy to pick it up. I only have 1/4 inch glass, and I have trouble with a hard green algae. :D

I have a piranna rare earth in mine, and if I don't eat my wheaties there's no moving it! Great mag, and also comes with replacement pads :!:

It would never do the hard algae, even when it was new Bob. The pads only lasted a short while as well. I ended up chucking it when I bought the magnavores.

It is 1/2" Brad. :? I wonder if the bowfront had something to do with it.

Okay then, what is a Magnavore, and where can I get one. :?:
