![]() I just let the coraline grow on the back of mine. I think it looks more natural than the store bought backing variety.

![]() I use a rare earth and will never go back to the cheaper ones.
Mine cost about $60 but it has replaceable felt and cleaning pads, not to mention this magnet kicks butt on strenght. It holds to the glass like no other and is great for going around corners. It's so strong that you can put it on either side of one hand and it will stick to the front and back of your hand-watch the fingers though! With this strenght I only need to make one pass on the glass to see crstal clear.

![]() I have a number of Mag Floats, and one of the larger one does a good job in my 20H, but for real cleaning on my larger tank I use a Magnavore. It cost around $80.00, but that thing is seriously powerful.

![]() now is some brand of cleaner using rare earth for there name? this would be weird as both mag float and several other brands use "rare earth" magnets inside them. Rare earth is a physical type of magnet that is stronger than a iron based magnet.
here is a bit about them for Those that are interested. http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/pa...77&cat=3,42363 Steve

![]() I was using the largest size of Mag Float on my 75gal and recently replaced it with a Rare Earth. I was using a Rare Earth on my 180 and it cleans excellently. I have two of the Hammerheads.
