Mag-Float Glass Aquarium Cleaner, Small

Product Information

Algae scrapers are really handy tools to keep the glass/acrylic crystal clear. It always surprises me when I think my inside glass is “clean.”

This little scraper is kind of simple, but it’s also really effective. It utilizes super thin razor blades that do a great job scraping off both soft or tough algae. It also comes with a small brush attachment that’s good for getting into tight corners. Test 2: This scraper did great against the green spot algae. I was really surprised. I had expected it to struggle more with the super tough algae, but again, it was able to clear out the big open areas.The scraper blade side was much better at removing the green spot. I did have to go really slow, but the blade was able to get it up. I actually found that I greatly preferred the plastic scraping blade over the metal one on the green spot algae.

We can only offer replacements parts or replacement goods when authorised by the manufacturer. Under no circumstances should goods be returned to us without prior approval. The head of the scraper unscrews so you can swap out the blades for scraping. The blades are super thin razors, so thin that you can easily bend them. I thought these might be too flimsy for green spot algae, but in reality, the thin blade is able to get behind the algae and scrape it off cleanly. So, we also bought two different styles of long-handled scrapers that are meant for getting hard to reach places in an aquarium. There are a lot of different algae scrapers out there on the market, so we broke it into two main categories: We work with the manufactures to ensure their guarantees are honoured and we use best endeavours to resolve issues within the warranty period.But, the scraper blade is really great for cleaning along the surface of the substrate. You have to be careful and slow as you clean along the substrate line anyway, so it’s no big deal to slow down and take the time to use the scraper blade on the Fl!pper in this area. When using either the mag float or the steel trowel you have to slightly tip up the edge of the tool in the direction you're moving it. It’s a really sturdy and stable handle once you’ve got it put together. I was impressed. It’s also easy to take it apart for storage. Then you can detach the outside part, turn it 180° and put it right next to the inner scrubber. This will get the inside part to flip itself over so that you can use the side that has a scraping blade.

The plastic blade is meant to prevent damage to acrylic tank walls. But, you still need to be VERY, VERY CAREFUL. It’s really soft/slimy and it’s fairly easy to scrape off. Magnetic Scraper Test 2: Green Spot Algae TLDR: This scraper has a really cool handle and large scrubbing pad, but it’s not as strong as the Mag-Float. The Aquawing did OK on the softer brown algae, but it struggled a bit on the green spot algae. If no errors occur, the floating point value with the magnitude of mag and the sign of sgn is returned.

Instead of growing in a big sheet like most algaes, green spot grows in little round dots that are hard to the touch.

There’s also a sand and gravel rake attachment. It has a scoop shape that would be good for grabbing small things from the bottom, but otherwise, I don’t really know that I would use this that much. Smoothing out gravel and sand is pretty easy to just do with your hand. The steel trowel (on the left) is used for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and final finishing passes. (however many it takes to get your desired result). One of the best ways you can learn how to finish concrete smooth is by watching me using a steel trowel to finish this small concrete floor. I've been using a mag float and a steel hand trowel to finish concrete smooth for many years. Otherwise, if num1 or num2 has type float, then std :: copysign (num1, num2 ) has the same effect as std :: copysign ( static_cast < float > (num1 ), Please be aware that aquarium pumps, filters, skimmers and other electrical goods emit noise during normal operation that you may consider to be excessive. You should be aware that manufacturers wording indicating noise levels are relative only and do not necessarily give indications of measured decibel levels.Once you've troweled the entire surface, let it dry a bit and repeat this process as many times as necessary to smooth the surface to your desired look. What’s the difference, you may ask? In the case of a glass tank, the scrubber pad is made of a harder, tougher material, like Velcro’s hook side. While in the case of an acrylic tank, the scrubber pad’s material is softer, like the loop side of Velcro, to prevent scratching the acrylic. If no such floating-point type with the greatest rank and subrank exists, then overload resolution does not result in a usable candidate from the overloads provided. The long-handled scrapers are a toss up for me. I like some of the different attachments on the Hygger kit, but I also found that the Fzone scraper was simple yet extremely effective.
