Sera Floating Magnetic Glass Cleaner for Aquariums up to 6 mm

The Sera Floating Magnetic Glass Cleaner is a specialized maintenance tool designed for aquariums with glass thicknesses of up to 6 mm. This device allows for the effective removal of algae and stubborn deposits from the inner glass surface without requiring the user to submerge their hands in the water. The two-part magnetic system ensures a strong connection through the glass, while the floating inner component prevents the cleaner from sinking to the substrate if the magnetic bond is accidentally broken, simplifying the retrieval process.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this magnetic cleaner is its floating design, which eliminates the risk of the inner magnet falling into the gravel or sand, where it could pick up debris that might scratch the glass. The ergonomic handle provides a secure and comfortable grip during cleaning sessions, allowing for precise control over the movement of the cleaner. Furthermore, the cleaning surface is engineered to be non-abrasive, ensuring that the glass remains free from scratches while effectively maintaining the clarity of the aquarium view.

Suitable for

• Removing algae from aquarium glass
• Routine maintenance of freshwater and saltwater tanks
• Aquariums with glass thickness up to 6 mm

This cleaner is not suitable for use on acrylic or plastic aquarium surfaces, as these materials are softer than glass and may be susceptible to scratching even with non-abrasive pads. Additionally, it is not designed for glass thicker than 6 mm, as the magnetic strength will be insufficient to maintain a secure connection.

Key specifications

• Maximum glass thickness: 6 mm
• Design: Floating inner magnet
• Cleaning surface: Non-abrasive
• Handle: Ergonomic grip

To use the cleaner, place the inner part inside the aquarium against the glass and align it with the outer handle on the exterior. Once the magnets engage, move the outer handle in a circular or back-and-forth motion to scrub the glass. The floating mechanism ensures that if the magnets detach, the inner piece will rise to the surface for easy recovery.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your aquarium glass thickness does not exceed 6 mm
• Ensure the aquarium material is glass, not acrylic
• Check for any trapped sand or gravel between the magnet and the glass before use

For optimal results, clean the glass regularly to prevent the buildup of hard algae. Always inspect the cleaning pad for any trapped particles before each use to maintain the integrity of your aquarium glass.
