F6-B. Hands down the best magnet cleaner I've ever owned; though for the price it'd better be. I dropped a sizable sum on my 450 acrylic, so skimping on the cleaner seemed akin to putting cheap gas in a Maserati. I am not entirely sure I'd view the algae dozer pads as completely acrylic safe, though the regular pads are just fine. The size of the cleaner makes for quick work on even a 96x30 panel.

What pads are acrylic safe with the MM? I was looking at adding the magnet sleeve found here.

Figure I update this thread.
I ended up going with the mighty magnet and couldn't be happier. The thing is a beast and makes cleaning a breeze. Well worth the price. Definitely recommend it if you are in a market for one.

Still happy with the MM? What pad do you use for acrylic safe cleaning?

I use their algae cutter sleeve and algae dozer but assure the plastic wedge on them are smooth- no dings or sharp edges

Yeah I’m super happy with it consider it one of the best investments I have made for my tank. It makes cleaning so much easier. Get their algae cutter bag. Works amazingly.
Here is a video of me cleaning my tank with it.

The Algae bag doesn’t scratch acrylic at all?
For me no but. . . but. . . . . assure if it gets too close to sand it does not retain the sand- In most cases it did not. I did get fine scratches from cutter when that blade was not smooth

Not at all. Just always take the magnet out when done and clean the pads and keep dry till next time you want to use it (don’t keep them in the tank). And keep an eye out when using it as not to get sand stuck between it. Just go slow and you be fine.
you can also use magic eraser sheets with the magnet. It works great as well but the algae bag just cuts right through the hard green algae on the acrylic specially in my case when I tend to neglect the tank cleaning as you can see from the video lol.
