magfloat or rare-earth?

[G1GY]

I use magfloat with great results!

They're all the same except name brands and size I use mag float tho' . . . most pet stores carry this brand over the other

[IslandReefer]

Magfloat max about $30
Rare Earth upto $180.....for me it was a nobrainer....and the magfloat work fine for soft algeas. I use a scraper for coraline
I think if you have glass thicker than the 5/8 limit of the magfloat only then shell out the extra cash....I hear it takes both hands to move a good size rare-earth mag
I don't think that even the rare earth could scrape coraline ,for long.
Oceansmotions make a scrapper out of a magfloat, as an added bonus
My 2 cents
Cheers

Magfloat will scrape coraline with a few passes. I wouldn't waist the money of a expensive one.

I glued a green scrubbing pad (cleaned of course) on to the inner side of my Magfloat to give it more "scrub"

razor for the hard algae, otherwise magfloat seems to handle the film stuff.

I do use a razor but becasue of the bracing on my tank it's hard to reach the back and sides of the tank
