Automatic glass cleaner

Thats a great point. I’m trying to work into narrowing down what works for feeding but I have anthias and don’t want to starve them, I’ve definitely reduced my feedings and found what I think is a sweet spot for now. As for the mag cleaner I really need to find something that will just rip the glass off lol, I’m on my second Tunze and it’s still not enough I should have bought the stronger one right away.

Must admit that i prefer to feed heavily and then manage the results of that, fat fish, a large No3 RX and quite a bit GFO used up...

I have 2 mag cleaners on the tank, a Tunze Care Magnet which is good for quick wipe overs but isn't really strong enough for a deep clean and then a Flipper Max that takes more effort to clean with but does a better job (also floats vs the Tunze that doesn't)

@Krully I'm with you on cleaning the glass-I hate doing it and wish someone would come out with an affordable robot type cleaner that actually worked and wasn't "ugly". ;) What size tank do you have Krully? Is it glass or acrylic? I've been using the Algae Free Hammerhead on my tank, which is 1/2" acrylic, and it does a great job however I probably should've bought the next size up to get that deeper scrubbing action but was worried it would scratch the acrylic.

I have a Reefer 350 so glass! I'll look into that, the flipper Max looks great but I have to pass the psychological barrier of dumping almost 100€ on a freaking magnet and a steel blade... I know this hobby is expensive but it's sometimes infuriating.

Reefer 350 = 12mm glass right ?

In that case the Flipper standard would be enough, the max would be way too strong.

I know what you mean on prices of magnet cleaners! Though mine works fine I have been looking at these guys and geez they're expensive! Mighty Magnets
