Magnet Algae Cleaners

Madreefer · #1 08-24-2013, 05:22 PM

Well after 6 years or so my AlgaeFree Hammerhead cleaner is no longer any use to me. The magnets are now bulging out and only contact on the glass now is the size of the magnets. I'm thinking on switching to the Magnavore Cleaning Magnet http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...d-acrylic.html
Has anyone tried it? IMO the Magfloats are complete junk so no need to recommend those and I was very happy with the Algaefree brand.

So there isn't anybody that's tried the Magnavore?

Hammerhead here. I like the overlapping magnet idea. Didn't occur to me until I saw it.

Should check out the vertex cleaner mag

The design doesn't allow the magnets to ever bulge out

Cool. Thanks. I'll check the Vertex out. I loved my hammerhead but it's run it's course and I hope my next purchase is just as good. Just thought I'd try something new.

I love my Vertex Duplex. They are coming out with a large format one (Vertex Hexaplex) with the next little while supposedly.

Hmm those Vertex are pretty cheap. I wonder how they match up to the Algaefree brand? Maybe i'll buy both haha. Oh it sucks living in a town where the nearest store is 500 miles away.

I personally have the Triplex magnet by vertex and its amazing, very pleased with it. I was originally going to buy the Hexaplex but decided to just go with the Triplex. The Hexaplex is a beast you literally have to slide them apart because the pull strength is so strong.

How thick is your tank Trevor?
