Despite the product information stating that these will not damage acrylic tanks, the product left awful scratches on my tank the first time I used it! To add insult to injury, it did a very poor job removing algae. I just ended up with patches of algae streaked by the scratches in the tank. Don’t waste your time and money with this product.
If you’re looking for algae control in a freshwater tank, I would strongly recommend getting a couple Olive Nerite snails instead of wasting your money on a Mag-Float that will do more harm than good. Olive Nerite snails are voracious little algae eaters that will keep your tank spotless and can’t reproduce in freshwater, so they won’t overrun your tank. I purchased two of these snails for less than I spent on the Mag-Float that ended up in the trashcan.

this dang thing scratched my acylic aquarium the first time I used it. Nothing was between it and the aquarium, no stones, debris etc. It was a brand new magnet on a fairly new aquarium. Sorry I ruined my tank with this piece of junk. Use at your own risk…

The item arrived in time stated, but was not happy with the way it worked becuase it did not work. It did not take off any algae. Will not buy this product and do not recommend it.

The magnetic floating cleaner is a great idea. One side attaches inside the tank, that has a scrubber, and the other side is a soft felt pad. Through the glass on the tank the magnets hold the two pieces together, allowing you to move the outside one which in turns moves the inside one scurbbing the tank.
The only complaint about this, was my own mistake, I ordered the small one, which is about an inch long, I needed one that was a bit bigger for my 29 gallon tank, this one works, but it just takes a bit longer.
