Re: [GSAS-Member] magnetic cleaners?

[Matt Staroscik <matt@wrongcrowd.com>]

The only algae I have in my 90 gal at home is green spot and that stuff is
way too tough for any magnetic scraper.

Sometimes at work I get the soft green-brown stuff and the magnetic scraper
works OK on that... but by the time it is an issue I should be doing a water
change and pruning anyway, so my hands are already in the tank and I can use
a pad.

All I really use the magnetic scrapers for is holding food. I glued a
plastic "chip clip" to the part inside the tank, and use it to hold zucchini
for the pleco.

YMMV.
