Magnetic razor scrubber??

[powdermonkey]

Hey guys, Ive been using the old glue on adjustable razor blade for hard algae. There has got to be something better. Not to mention I am now out of the blades and the LFS doesnt carry them anymore. And I dont have the package to find them on the net. I also have the Super algae cutting bags with my mighty magnet. It will not take off coralline aglae. So lets hear what you are using!! And a razor blade in my hand just wont cut it. I cant reach everything.

Thanks
I've been looking at the flipper. Hoping to hear a few options before dropping $100. Do you have glass? Does it work well on coralline?

Tunze care magnet. Mine works great for hard algae. Others have reported it breezing through coraline as well, and affordable at that

Its hands down the easiest and most effective magnet cleaner I've ever used. I do have glass and it easily removed coralline. Not sure where you're seeing it for $100, but BRS has it for $40. I'd also hit up Cris at Aquatic Art as I think he may have them.

+1. Have the long version and it works great on my 150 acrylic. Eats up coraline.

+2 i have the long as well and this thing takes care of calcified algae without damaging starphire.

And you can bury this thing in the sand without it scratching the glass.

I have 3/4" glass so I would need the biggest one. I also have low iron and am concerned about scratching. But i don't have to worry about sand.

Tim also has starphire glass, I can attest, no scratching

Agreed. It works great.

It does not float though. I've had to go digging behind rock work once or twice.
