Magnetic Algae scraper for thick glass
 

Does anyone know of a brand of magnetic algae scraper that's appropriate for 5/8" thick glass? I really wanted to get something like the mag flip that has a razor on it, but I just discovered that they're only effective on glass up to 3/4" thick.

The bottom of the upper doors to my cabinet are over 6' high, so I'm going to need a ladder to scrape my glass, and it would be swell if I could find a magnetic one that meant I didn't have to do that :)

algae free magnets are the ONLY ones I would ever buy. Simply the best and have an option for a razor blade attachment. It does coraline no prob.

Just so you know. 3/4 inch is thicker than 5/8. So the one you mentioned will be ok.

mag flip is garbage Imo

I was not vouching for the mag flip just letting him know that any cleaner rasted for 3/4 is fine for 5/8.

Sigh. I'm a dyslexic idiot. How I made it to grad school, I'll never know

lol I didn't see your post was typing and the phone rang took me that long to write 5 words.


*too slow again that was to Tim.

mmmmkay I knew I wasn't completely crazy. The mag float I have is only good on aquariums up to 3/8 thick, not 3/4, and the version that replaces it, the flipper (http://flippercleaner.com/) is only good up to 3/8 as well.

I see that the algae free does have scrapers that work on tanks 5/8" to 3/4" thick, but their handles don't work with the look of my tank. In a worst case scenario I could paint the handle of the algae free unit white, but is there any other brand that comes razor-capable that can handle thicker glass?

that new flipper looks not bad actually but the most important thing in these magnetic scrapers is the magnets! most are just to weak to do anything

May flips are complete garbage...even the new one from what I understand. Mag Floats are not so bad. You could look at this one: www.jlaquatics.com/product/cl-mf500/Mag-Float+500+(Glass)+Cleaning+Magnet.html
