I have recently set up a 92 gallon corner tank with a curved glass front. I am now to the point where I need to clean the glass a little and I am finding that a standard rectangular shaped magnet does not work very effectively. I have tried several types but all seem inefficiently designed. Does anyone know of a "curved" magnetic cleaner that is marketed?

What is you just used a medium sized magfloat? they are pretty narrow... sure it may take a little longer but it WILL work! I have used one on my bowfronts before.

Add a thin layer of the hook side velcro to the center (vertical) of the mag float to ake the denter higher. That way it will fit the curve a little better. I haven't seen any production odels made specifically for curved glass.

You could always attempt to DIY something that had a thin magnet in the center and flexible sides... Cutting apart ove of those flexible cutting boards might do it.

You could also get some magic eraser stuff by Mr. Clean and cut a small piece to cover the middle. Sort of like cdness posted above but with the magic eraser abrasive.
