I leave my flipper in tuck in the back on side glass. I only use the blade side.

Also, someone above mentioned that the rotten egg smell could be hydrogen sulfide being built up which leads me to ask how damaging that could be?
I meant to reply to this a week ago but got side tracked [emoji23]
I don't think water is getting inside because whenever I take it out no water leaks out and I gave it the shake test to see if I hear water and nothing. I do have a Po4 issue right now. So I'm having to clean a lite film off the glass daily and sometimes twice a day. I'm wondering if that lite film is building up between the cleaner and glass causing that smell.
I’ve had the wet side of the sensor for my smart ATO rust out a couple times. Obviously not as water proof as it should be.I always take it out. Don't like the looks of it in there and how nasty it looks after a while.
I know this is a little different but I had a magnetic nori clip that the inside magnet cover leaked and did cause some stress to my SPS. Fortunately I caught it before any significant losses. Since then, no magnets in side my tank that don't have to be.
My tank is a room divider so I keep one cleaner on each side... I had to start keeping a third one in my tank because my clownfish decided it was the perfect place for them to lay eggs
Handsome little fellow.I used to take mine out because I have similar obsessive compulsive tendencies. And I figured the algae will breakdown at the same rate as the tank it's not like it will build up.... but my sailfin blenny perches on it to watch the tank
Do you guys / gals leave the inner part of your magnetic glass cleaners in the tank? I have always left mine in, but I pulled it out the other day and it stunk really bad like rotten eggs. It's probably been close to a year since I've pulled it out lol. I'm thinking I need to be cleaning it a little more often
it cant rust , magnets are non ferousI leave mine in the tank. I can't remember the last time I pulled the inside magnet out. It's completely covered with coralline algae.
My concern from leaving them in is if the inside magnets begin to breakdown and rust from being exposed to water. In the past I've had one that did. As far as I know it didn't affect anything.

I'm gonna have to check on my Ice Cap 3k Gyre. I just noticed that the sides of the magnet are not coveredI used to leave mine in the tank. Then I decided to check it and the magnet and such inside was severely corroded. I removed it from the tank and after about a week, the corals began to rebound. Ever since I have always removed anything with a non-ceramic magnet in it. The powerhead magnets are typically ceramic magnets.

Where are you at in Wi Crabs?I've always left mine in the tank. I may not now after reading this lol.
