Tunze Care Algae Cleaning Magnet

What is the Tunze Care Algae Cleaning Magnet?

The Tunze Care Algae Cleaning Magnet is an algae cleaner comprised of an ergonomic handle and special plastic blades made of wear-resistant high-performance plastic. This glass pane cleaner makes it almost impossible to scratch aquarium panes (glass or acrylic), and can also be used as a hand scraper

Key Features:

• Prevents jamming of aquarium sand
• Almost entirely prevents scratching
• Can be used on glass or acrylic aquariums
• Removes even tightly attached algae
• Wide blade performs a large-scale algae removal
• Slim design to prevent disturbing corals
• Can be used on round or arched aquarium panes
• Rounded edges to ensure a smooth transition at the aquarium edges without damaging silicone joints
• Doesnt distribute the algae, but turns them into rolls of food for your fish
• Can also be used as a hand scraper

What are the benefits of the Tunze Care Algae Cleaning Magnet?

The inner magnet is more than 3 mm (.2") away from the aquarium and thus prevents the jamming of the aquarium sand. The two plastic blades remove the algae considerably better from the glass panes than a flat cleaning surface almost as good as a sharp metal blade. The life of a blade is from several months up to approx. one year. The low flow resistance during the cleaning with a simultaneous high magnetic coupling, makes a separation of the magnet nearly impossible. The large blade should only be modified with the included stainless steel blade for aquarium glass panes with particularly tough algae, e.g. older deposits on the side walls or thick calcareous algae. The Tunze Care Algae Cleaning Magnet also uses plastic blades with a different length, creates a varying application pressure, enabling the narrow blade to remove even tightly attached algae. With the wide blade, it is possible to perform a large-scale algae removal. It doesn't distribute the algae within the aquarium as a green dust; it rather roles them up completely, and through this turns the algae film into actual food for the fish.
