cleaning magnets

[Rob]

What are folks using for cleaning magnets on their glass or acrylic?

Brand names, whats good, whats bad , prices, does it float or not.

Any suggestions?

I'm in the market but want to purhase the right one the first time.....

This would be for a 180 gal Acrylic tank.

Thanks

Rob

they have different pads, i have even heard people getting a buffing pad to help with scratches on acrylic.

i dont think you can beat them.

Do they float?

I found the magnavore 4er for 59.99 + shipping

not sure how good of a price that compare to a group buy

my guess is it will probably be about the same price but we could give the business to a local person. Im going to ask and see if there is interest.

 

[Rob]

good input

Always nice to keep the business local........

I've been using the Mag IIX with the acrylic safe pads, for the last 2 years....great product, I would never want to be without them.

I have owned a Magnavore for 3years and it's worth every penny. I have used the same one for glass and acrylic. There is an additional pad for acrylic. The strongest magnet cleaner I have seen. DO NOT LET CHILDREN GET THERE HANDS ON THEM. They can break fragile fingers. And they do not float but take alot to remove from any surface. Also do not let the two pieces touch or you will have to send them back to the company to seperate.

The new ER (extended reach) Magnavores do float and they are great. The ER feature has the inside part extend beyond the outside part (larger) on one side. This allows you to get up and behind the tank frame at the top.

i posted in the group buy section so we can get and idea of demand.
