$147 for a magnet is pretty steep. I wouldn't want to spend more than $60
Ya that's a bit to choke back, I would only need the Hammer head $67.25

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
