Spotlight: Checking out the Tunze Care Magnet cleaner family | BRStv

Hey guys!


Here's a quick one on the Tunze Care Magnet cleaners! Have you used these or are using them for your tank?

I own a couple of these and LOVE them! Seriously one of my favorite tools. It's like being able to use a razorblade (although not as sharp) without the rust and without getting your hands wet!

Here was a review I did a while back: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/reef-review-tunze-care-magnet.238076/

I love them! Wished I bought the stronger one though.

love them...the long is perfect for the red sea reefer 170

I have the Long model for the 90 gallon tank with 1/2” glass and the Nano model for the other two tanks. Love that I can clean below the sand bed without fear of scratching the glass!

I've used them since they first came out and I love them. No more scratches from sand!

After getting a very small scratch using my Flipper, near the sandbed, I think I'll give the Care Magnet a shot. Thanks for the video and responses.

Just got the Tunze Strong. It is amazing! I can't believe how great it works.

Isn't it the best?!!?

Seriously. I was so hesitant to pay a lot for a cleaner, but I'm so glad I didn't go cheap on this. I love it, can't wait to go home and clean more. haha.

Literally about a minute every other day and your glass is always clean!

My acrylic is just under 1/2" thick, is there any benefit in getting the strong as opposed to the long? Stronger scraping power with the stronger magnets?

Surprised people think this is a good product. I bought one, used it a couple times and went back to my mag float.

I've used Mag Floats for about 15 years until I got the Tunze Care Magnet. The blades are just so much better in scraping away hard algae like green spot algae and coralline algae.

I still use my Mag Floats though - to hold nori sheets.

You'd likely get stronger pressure on the scraping blades due to the stronger magnets, which would make it more effective at that harder algae.

The blades are good at scraping when they don’t fall off. It would have been nice if the thing floated as well. Going from front panel to side panel is a PITA. Just my opinion of course

True, I also don't like this part about the magnet. It's probably a patent thing.
