Default razor clips for magnet cleaners


I was thinking of getting one for the tank. I know that my CAL and ALK shoot up when I leave the coraline on the galss on the sides and back. If you think that they are good to go ,can you please post your thoughts and if you dont like them and have one that you dont want let me know I would take it off you hands to try out...

My tank is alot brighter with out the coraline stuck to the glass.

They are god's gift to REEF aquariums! Can't believe I didn't buy one sooner but they truly are incredible! They get everything off EASILY! You won't be disappointed!

They are awesome. I don't leave the actual blade attached while it sits in the tank. I just screw it onto the base about twice a month for a "good" cleaning and the rest of the month just let the magnet do what it can.

Ditto! Only prob with them is they do rust if left in the tank for any period of time or not cleaned off properly after use. But well worth it!

Lots of us like them, here.

I also only put the blade in when needed to get the coralline off, rest of the time just use as a regular mag float.

One of the best tools available to the hobby.

And less than $20. I used frag cement to glue it on to the mag float.

It Works

Make sure you thoroughly wipe the razor blade with a towel or something after using. If you get it completely dry the blade will last for months

I have one too and it works great. Just be careful around your silicone. Another thing to look at is the new Mag-Flip. It is very thin, about 1/4", and has a large cleaning area. It has a built in plastic scraper on the backside. Work good, i had a chance to use one at the LFS and was cleaning corraline of thier glass no sweat.
