Magnetic Glass Cleaner 6-8mm

Description

Magnetic Glass Cleaner 6-8mm — Floating magnet algae cleaner matched to thinner 6 to 8 mm aquarium glass

On a small tank, wiping the glass by hand means an arm in the water and a stirred-up tank, while a magnet does the same job from outside. Magnetic Glass Cleaner 6-8mm (SKU: SMAGC8) is a two-part magnetic algae cleaner for aquarium glass 6 to 8 mm thick: a handled outer magnet stays on the dry side, and the inner cleaning piece follows it across the inside of the pane, wiping off algae film as it goes. The supplier describes it as an easy-to-use, anti-scratch cleaner, and the inner piece floats, so if it parts from the outer magnet it rises to the surface instead of sinking into the gravel.

Magnet strength is matched to glass thickness. On 6 to 8 mm glass, the thickness used on many nano and small tanks, this size grips firmly enough to follow the handle; a cleaner built for thick glass pulls harder than thin panes need and can snap together painfully when the halves meet off the glass, while one made for thinner glass will slip and drop. Measure the exposed edge of the glass at the top of the tank before choosing. Because the outer part has a handle, the cleaner moves with one hand, and between cleans it can be parked on the glass or separated so the inner half floats up to be lifted out and rinsed. It is made for soft algae film; hard spot algae and coralline still call for a scraper blade.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Nano and small tanks: Glass 6 to 8 mm thick, common on smaller aquariums.
• Weekly algae film: Light green film that dulls the view.
• Desktop and office tanks: Cleaning without wet hands or sleeves.
• Before viewing: A quick wipe of the front pane before guests or photos.

Cleaning Technique Guide

• Check the glass: Confirm the pane is 6 to 8 mm thick before first use.
• Place the inner half: Lower it inside the tank and bring the handled magnet to it from outside.
• Move slowly: Glide in overlapping strokes so the inner part keeps up.
• Avoid the gravel line: Keep the pad above the substrate so no grain is trapped beneath it.
