Tunze Magnet Scraper Thingy

[Aquattro]

My first thought was the same. These come with a metal attachment, but I tried it without first and found that it works well. Will it scrape off thicker coralline? Probably not. But for daily cleaning of film algae and heavier algae, it works great. Even slight coralline build up comes off easily.

Ya, I suppose it's a nice option for "daily" use.

J&L has them again, I picked a Long up for the RSM130d that I'm setting up.

My tunze long works great. I can get away with the plastic blades for the most part. I do have a couple spots I can't seem to get clean, I am thinking about trying the metal blade on.

Just ordered the nano version from Reef Supplies a couple of days ago, wish I had seen this thread first. I haven't got it yet.

The video I saw of this thing in action made me not want to buy one.
I saw it jerking across the glass and it doesn't float ...
It jerks around and appears to be difficult to work with

I'm NOT going to buy one just yet

I'm perfectly happy with my Mag-float and it's scraper attachment

So, you can put me into the 'Not gonna buy' category.

Sorry for all your that bought one.

I don't see the value versus my Magfloat with it's scraper attachment

Doesn't jerk at all, so far I haven't needed it to float (it's a magnet, it sticks through the glass). Works great, looks cool. Old credit card does the same thing though, so whatever floats your boat

Scratches my friend. If that's not value I don't know what is. Trust me and get one. You won't regret it but don't just listen to me, look at this thread. All these reefers can't be wrong. Stop whining and get one!
