just too powerful for my 50 gal By Joe on 5/25/13

I pickup the Piranha float, but I just find it a little too large and powerful for my 50 gal tank with 1/4" glass, so I find myself using a smaller mag-float instead.

Strong Magnet! By Dan on 5/22/13
Dan would recommend this product to a friend
This cleaner has a super strong magnet in it. To the point where I start to put pressure on the stand (30g). It cleans well, but the price needs to come way down. It's a block of wood with some felt and a plastic block with velcro...

pay attention to the size recommendations By tramboneplayer5 on 5/18/13

I used to have a 55 gallon tank and was planning to upgrade to a 140 gallon tank. I did not want to buy the piranha and then have to buy the hammerhead a few months later, so I just bought the piranha. I had to insert a washcloth and use the acrylic pad on my 1/4" glass because the magnets were so strong it would almost scratch the glass. Now that I have the proper sized tank for the magnet it works wonderfully. Looks good too.

I have only used this twice so far and it works great no issues straight out of the box ready to go.

Gets the pink coraline algae off pretty easily. never had a mag work this well. I also bought an add on scraper but haven't had to use it.

I picked up a hammerhead for my new 155. I really like the quality of this thing. It looks well made and has a much better appearance than the mag floats.

Great on my 3/4" acrylic By Mike on 3/25/13
Mike would recommend this product to a friend
I bought this cleaner for my 3/4" thick acrylic display tank. The magnets are strong and give a very good scrub to the inside of the tank...glad I spent a few extra bucks for this model. Much easier to keep up on my maintenance, I was getting tired of trying to clean in 30" of water from above with other tools!

Get's those stubborn bits off! By Sandra on 3/10/13
Sandra would recommend this product to a friend
An excellent glass cleaner. Very strong magnet that is capable of removing those stubborn bits of algae on the glass that aren't touched by the cheaper versions. Also, esthetically more pleasing than a hunk of plastic stuck on the outside of the glass. Bought two, will buy another for my 3rd tank.

actually does what you want it to By monkiboy on 3/10/13
monkiboy would recommend this product to a friend
excellent product. comes with extra pads for both sides of the glass (smooth sliding and algae destroying. VERY strong magnets. does the job. don't be overzealous and get larger than needed. use the suggested ones for the glass thickness you have otherwise you'll be getting a heck of a work out and putting your glass in potential danger.
really enjoying this product. it is my second!

Good magnet By Matt on 3/6/13
Matt wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
Good magnet, not great. Much Stronger than a magfloat, but does not seem to clean any better. This float still does not remove stubborn coraline or other thicker algae. The strong magnets are not really needed to remove the types of algae this scrubber handles well.(film algae)
I'm using on 1/2 inch acrylic so it may be slightly undersized. I like it, I'm just not thrilled, maybe my expectations were just too high.

hamer head mag By peter on 1/28/13
peter would recommend this product to a friend
I have the hammer head mag. I had what I thought was a problem. I emailed Mark told him I picked up the Hammerhead at brs and his service was second to no one !!! I see why BRS sells the Algea free mag and why I will never think at all about buying any thing from them again , and yes its great also buy the scraper blade it takes any thing off.

The best cleaning float money can buy By Edward on 1/28/13
Edward would recommend this product to a friend
Not only does it clean better (stronger magnets) than traditional mag floats, but it also looks really classy on the tank. I leave it on the front of my display along the sand bed - it looks that good! And the fact that it comes with spare/replacement cleaning pads is a really nice touch! Don't look elsewhere - buy this for your tank.
