What type of mag scraper do you use?

[Spaceman]

I have used mag floats my whole time reefing life and love them. My new build has me needing something extra strong and i am looking at a mighty mag 5 there not cheap but seem to work well! Does any one have experience with them?

How about a Tunze, so far I like it the most.
You can also get aftermarket ceramic blades for it.

Tunze. Very low chance of ever scratching the glass.

New tank i acrylic and 1.25 thick tunze will not hold..tunze is 3/4 max.

I recently came across something called the flapper I think? It’s a magnet scraper with an attachment for a razor blade or plastic blade

 

[CoralJunkie]

It’s called the Flipper, Google searching flapper will fetch you something totally unrelated

I have been using Tunze as well, great at removing algae off the glass.

I won’t use a magnetic scraper on a new acrylic tank, I will go in with my arm with a foam pads.

A look at Brian in his tank cleaning it.

I think it will be more like this for Brian

You guys are awesome! But the mighty mag is no basic magnet scraper it has a acrylic pad thats easy replaceable it looks like. I was hoping some one had one... I don't run sand and I will probably clean the pad prior to cleaning tank every time! Dong I am also looking forward to seeing you next week!!!!!!!!

I've been using mighty mags for over 15 years on both fresh water and salt water acrylic tanks. It is a huge mistake to use any other brand on acrylic IMO

Thanks just ordered one its nice to hear first had experience. I have only had small acrylic in the past and a quick clean with a magic eraser and all set but not this tank!

Tunze all the way! And a friend of mine sells this aftermarket blade you can add to it:

Tunze Ceramic Blade Upgrade | 4D Aquatics

When used correctly, this powerful tool can cut through the thickest of coralline algae like a hot knife through butter. Because of the sharp blade, the user must exercise extreme caution when cleaning around the seals of the tank. * Price is for 2 scrapers with ceramic blades* Recommended for...

It's a ceramic blade that makes quick work of coralline. Because it's ceramic, it can't bend so there's no risk of scratching your glass.

Looks like i am gonna pick up the tunze for my frag tank next time at wet pets! With this many people liking them they must be nice!

Any company that claims that, it can cut thru coralline like butter is ridiculous. You can do the same with a credit card edge.

 

[Dave T]

I have it and the claims are true. It's just a ceramic blade, very sharp. And I don't know what kind of coraline you have but I do use a credit card for the acrylic glass in my frag tank, and it takes a lot of scraping!
