![]() Speaking of Mag-floats...
If you mag-float seems to chatter a bit along the glass is it underpowered? ![]() |

![]() Steve and Deb are both right. Both the Mag float and the Magnavore use rare earth magnets. I think, however, as Deb says, the Mag Floats and some other glass cleaners use much smaller magnets. Therefore, the question it is not whether you like Mag float, or rare earth cleaners, but which rare earth type do you prefer.
That is the way I see it anyway. ![]()

![]() I use a Magnavore 6 (rated for up to 3/4 inch glass I believe), on a 75g with 1/2 inch glass (completly open top, no bracing or euro bracing, a very nice tank). I would never go back to anything else. I even use it on my tanks with 1/4 inch glass. It is a little harder to move, but nothing sticks to the glass after a pass with it.
Also, cleaning the exterior of the glass with Coralife aquarium glass cleaner and polish alows the magnet to move a lot easier. I don't know what is in that stuff but it almost seems like a teflon product or something. Makes the glass real slippery and dirt, salt and fingerprints don't stick as easily. (I am fanatical about keeping viewing surfaces spotless - this includes my glasses, windshields, and my aquarium front panes).
