Aquarium magnetic cleaner ZOLUX AQUAYA XS floating model (ZOLUX)

The ZOLUX AQUAYA XS floating magnetic cleaner is a specialized tool designed for the efficient maintenance of aquarium glass. This two-part device consists of an internal scrubbing pad and an external magnetic handle, allowing users to clean the inner walls of the tank without submerging their hands in the water. Its floating design ensures that if the magnets become detached, the internal part rises to the surface, preventing it from sinking into the substrate or damaging the aquarium decor.

Advantages

This magnetic cleaner offers a practical solution for daily aquarium upkeep by effectively removing algae and mineral deposits from glass surfaces. The strong magnetic connection ensures consistent contact between the scrubber and the glass, providing a thorough clean with minimal effort. Because the device floats, it is easy to retrieve if the magnets are separated, which simplifies the cleaning process and protects the aquarium environment from accidental disturbances.

Suitable for

• Small to medium-sized freshwater aquariums
• Routine removal of algae from flat glass surfaces
• Aquarists who prefer to keep their hands dry during maintenance

When it may not be suitable

This cleaner is designed specifically for flat glass surfaces and is not suitable for use on curved or acrylic aquariums, as it may cause scratches or fail to maintain proper contact. It is also not intended for removing heavy, calcified deposits that require a metal scraper.

Key specifications

• Type: Floating magnetic cleaner
• Size: XS (Extra Small)
• Compatibility: Flat glass aquariums
• Design: Two-part magnetic system

How to use

To use the cleaner, place the internal scrubbing pad inside the aquarium against the glass and align the external magnetic handle on the outside. Once the magnets lock together, move the external handle in a circular or side-to-side motion to scrub the inner glass surface. The internal pad will follow the movement of the external handle, effectively clearing away algae.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the thickness of your aquarium glass to ensure magnetic strength is sufficient.
• Ensure the aquarium is made of glass, not acrylic or plastic.
• Check that the surface is flat to maintain full contact with the scrubbing pad.

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that no sand or gravel particles are trapped between the scrubbing pad and the glass to prevent scratching. Rinse the internal pad thoroughly after each use to remove trapped algae and debris.
