 I think I'm sold, tired of replacing mag floats, cheaper in the long run with just replacing pads on the other. |

|   I was using a scraper and sea urchin for the stubborn coraline algae. The blue linkia and marble starfish help a bit too. $147 for a magnet is pretty steep. I wouldn't want to spend more than $60

|   Tiger shark is more than strong enough and it's $100. I recall seeing it at BRS for like $80 or something. Something to consider if you order from them and had an excuse to add a magnet cleaner (won't add on to shipping). |

|   +1 on tiger shark. Very strong but not strong enough to remove coraline. |

|   +2 on the Tiger Shark, I have one for the 165 gal (5/8" glass) and man what a workout you get. This thing is strong, you can hold the outside part 2 - 3" away from the tank & the inside part will still more with it.  I will never buy another Mag Float ever again.

|   I have both and the mag float isn't in the same league even as a a tiger shark. Just watch your fingers with a tiger as they bite hard! lol |

|   If you had a stronger magnet, the same pad would do more work than with a weaker one no? Just looked. I have an extra tiger shark and an extra great white here. I could ship em if anyone wants to pm a fair offer. |
