The bowed bottom weight allows the scrub pad to rest above the gravel for easy retrieval while reducing the risk of scratching the aquarium walls.

Excellent edition for cleaning the tank
Bought this for a 30 gallon aquarium. It works exactly as described. We were quite impressed. It seems to be excellent quality and sticks to the glass. No problem. We use it every few days.

Aqueon Aquarium Algae Cleaning Magnets: A Must-Have for Any Aquarium Enthusiast!
I recently purchased the Aqueon Aquarium Algae Cleaning Magnets for my small glass tank, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! This product has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. Effective Cleaning: The magnets are incredibly powerful, making algae removal a breeze. With just a few swipes, my tank glass is crystal clear, and I no longer have to struggle with stubborn algae spots. Ease of Use: The design is intuitive and user-friendly. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the magnets glide smoothly across the glass without scratching. Even cleaning those hard-to-reach corners is now effortless. Versatility: Although I have a glass tank, I appreciate that this product is also suitable for acrylic tanks. This versatility is a big plus for anyone with multiple aquariums or considering a future switch. Durable and Reliable: The build quality is top-notch. These magnets feel sturdy and well-constructed, promising long-term use. I've been using them frequently, and they show no signs of wear. Compact Size: The small size is perfect for my tank, allowing for precise cleaning without being cumbersome. It's also easy to store when not in use. Overall, the Aqueon Aquarium Algae Cleaning Magnets have made tank maintenance so much easier and more efficient. They save me time and effort, allowing me to enjoy my aquarium rather than constantly clean it. I highly recommend this product to any aquarium owner looking for an effective and reliable algae cleaning solution. Five stars!

Super Duper Clean Up
Bought 3 of these for my 3 acrylic mini tanks and they work like a charm. Clean up any algae thoroughly as soon as I see any. I leave it in my tanks hidden in the back. I can imagine algae will likely try to grow on them as well and I will take them out for a scrub when I do my water changes. If you don't want to leave it in your larger tanks there is a nifty little hole to loop a string on in case it gets loose to the bottom of your tank. Just lower the outer magnet down on the string and retrieve it as it snaps back on. 100% will purchase this if I get any more tanks.

Second time purchase, works great!
I love this tank cleaner. I have an acrylic bow front tank which can make cleaning it with a wand difficult. This makes it easy to scrub back and forth with the powerful magnetic scrubber. The magnet holds well and I just leave it attached in the tank when not in use. I would buy this again, and that is the downfall of this product. I purchased this because of the manufacturers claim that you don’t need to buy a whole new cleaner and you can purchase new clip on scrubbers. You get one scrubber for glass and one for acrylic with the tool. Unfortunately I was not able to source these replacements scrubbers at our big box pet store or Amazon (even with help from an Amazon associate). You need to get them from the manufacturer from what I have found. That said, it is still a great cleaner at a great value. My first one lasted over three years before the scrubber lost efficiency.

Honest opinion
Having been in the aquatic hobby for nearly 30 years, I can tell you that a good algae scraper is worth its weight. This one does the job. It has both glass and acrylic pads that can clean off the algae. I only have 2 complaints. First is that the magnet appears to be a little weak to keep the unit together when you have the tougher spots to clean. Second is that the inside unit does not float, so when it inevitably falls to the bottom of the tank, you can't retrieve it with the exterior magnet. Now your hand is all wet, thus defeating the purpose of the magnetic cleaner all together. It cleans the algae, but a couple quality of life improvements could have earned it a 5 star!

Bought the medium version which is ideal for 10mm glass. Cleans the glass well and, so far, it hasn't become detached from the outside magnet. It's quite hard work though! The only problem, which is minor, is that the inside magnet tends to vibrate or oscillate as it travels, unless you move extremely slowly. This sets up small pressure waves through the water, enough to make the heater elements wobble when you're in the vicinity, and it freaks the fish out a bit, but only while it's going on. Overall, though, I'm very pleased with it.

I needed something that would help me easily clean my aquarium as it's over 2' deep and my pleco weren't keeping up. Looked around and this seemed to be the best product for its price. Good size and powerful magnet(watch your fingers). Used it on a 120G tank with 1/3" glass and worked great! Glass pad was needed as the blue acrylic pad was too soft. Takes a few swipes to clear thicker algae but not at all a hassle. Very easy to turn corners and switch sides. Haven't had any issues with the magnets detaching either.
