Flipper Edge Max

Flipper Edge Max — Strongest Dual-Blade Floating Magnet Cleaner for Tanks up to 25 mm Thick

A 24 mm pane on a 2 m reef needs a cleaner with pull to match, and this is the strongest one Flipper makes. Flipper Edge Max (SKU: FLIP-EDGEMAX) combines the large Max magnet with the dual-blade Edge design, a scraper at both ends of the inner assembly so it cuts on the push and the pull without being turned, and a scrubber pad on the reverse. Flipper rates it for glass and acrylic up to 25 mm. Reviewers found a clear step up in strength from the original Max to the Float Max to the Edge Max, and the inner assembly floats if it detaches.

The box holds two 316 stainless steel blades and two acrylic-safe plastic blades with flat or serrated edges, all interchangeable and reversible, which Flipper says doubles blade life. Retailer specifications put the cleaning surface at about 8.3 by 12.7 cm with 7.6 cm blades, the largest in the range. Blades are replaced every three to six months. As with every Flipper, flipping is easiest near the surface where the current is low, the steel blade is kept off silicone and sand, and the magnets are kept away from phones and fingers. The one-year warranty against factory defects applies through authorised retailers.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Very thick glass: Display tanks and custom builds with 19 to 25 mm walls that defeat every other magnet.
• Large reef panes: Coralline-heavy glass where a wide steel blade saves time.
• Big acrylic tanks: Plastic blades and pad on thick acrylic without scratching the surface.
• Public and shop displays: Daily cleaning on tanks too big or too deep for hand tools.

Cleaning Technique Guide

• Scrub, then flip: Pad over the pane, rotate the handle near the surface, blade side down.
• Two-direction scraping: Both Edge blades cut, so every pass counts and nothing is wasted.
• Reverse and swap: Turn a blade to its fresh edge when it dulls; change to plastic for acrylic.
• Safe handling: Keep magnets apart from electronics, and the steel away from seams.
