Aqueon Aquarium Algae Scraper, Fish Tank Cleaning Magnets for Glass/Acrylic, Small, Black

Crystal-Clear Glass Made Effortless As someone who takes aquarium maintenance seriously, the Aqueon Aquarium Algae Scraper Cleaning Magnet (Medium) truly exceeded my expectations. The magnetic strength is perfectly balanced — strong enough to power through stubborn algae, yet smooth enough to glide effortlessly across the glass without scratching. What impressed me most is how efficient it is. I can clean large sections of the tank quickly without getting my hands wet, and the inner pad stays aligned without slipping. It makes routine maintenance faster and far less disruptive for the fish. The build quality feels solid and thoughtfully designed for both glass and acrylic setups. It’s simple, effective, and reliable — exactly the kind of well-engineered product I appreciate reviewing and recommending. A must-have tool for any aquarium owner who values clarity and convenience.

The Aqueon Aquarium Algae Scraper in the small size is a strong, easy‑to‑use magnetic cleaner that makes routine algae removal quick and low‑effort. Its magnet has enough power to stay connected while you scrub, and the weighted inner piece drops straight down instead of floating away if it detaches. The included pads for both glass and acrylic make it versatile and safe for different tank types. It glides smoothly across the walls and handles everyday algae buildup well. Overall, it’s a reliable and affordable tool that keeps small aquariums looking clean with minimal work.

Bought this for a 30 gallon aquarium. It works exactly as described. We were quite impressed. It seems to be excellent quality and sticks to the glass. No problem. We use it every few days.

I love this tank cleaner. I have an acrylic bow front tank which can make cleaning it with a wand difficult. This makes it easy to scrub back and forth with the powerful magnetic scrubber. The magnet holds well and I just leave it attached in the tank when not in use. I would buy this again, and that is the downfall of this product. I purchased this because of the manufacturers claim that you don’t need to buy a whole new cleaner and you can purchase new clip on scrubbers. You get one scrubber for glass and one for acrylic with the tool. Unfortunately I was not able to source these replacements scrubbers at our big box pet store or Amazon (even with help from an Amazon associate). You need to get them from the manufacturer from what I have found. That said, it is still a great cleaner at a great value. My first one lasted over three years before the scrubber lost efficiency.

I recently purchased the Aqueon Aquarium Algae Cleaning Magnets for my small glass tank, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! This product has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. Effective Cleaning: The magnets are incredibly powerful, making algae removal a breeze. With just a few swipes, my tank glass is crystal clear, and I no longer have to struggle with stubborn algae spots. Ease of Use: The design is intuitive and user-friendly. The handle is comfortable to hold, and the magnets glide smoothly across the glass without scratching. Even cleaning those hard-to-reach corners is now effortless. Versatility: Although I have a glass tank, I appreciate that this product is also suitable for acrylic tanks. This versatility is a big plus for anyone with multiple aquariums or considering a future switch. Durable and Reliable: The build quality is top-notch. These magnets feel sturdy and well-constructed, promising long-term use. I've been using them frequently, and they show no signs of wear. Compact Size: The small size is perfect for my tank, allowing for precise cleaning without being cumbersome. It's also easy to store when not in use. Overall, the Aqueon Aquarium Algae Cleaning Magnets have made tank maintenance so much easier and more efficient. They save me time and effort, allowing me to enjoy my aquarium rather than constantly clean it. I highly recommend this product to any aquarium owner looking for an effective and reliable algae cleaning solution. Five stars!

Great, simple to use and effective.

Bought 3 of these for my 3 acrylic mini tanks and they work like a charm. Clean up any algae thoroughly as soon as I see any. I leave it in my tanks hidden in the back. I can imagine algae will likely try to grow on them as well and I will take them out for a scrub when I do my water changes. If you don't want to leave it in your larger tanks there is a nifty little hole to loop a string on in case it gets loose to the bottom of your tank. Just lower the outer magnet down on the string and retrieve it as it snaps back on. 100% will purchase this if I get any more tanks.

First the good. Excellent construction, and the magnet is amazing. I give it 3 stars, because it isn't *bad* it is just not what I expected. I have the Aqueon Bow 5-gallon that sits on my desk for my betta. Since that product was mentioned in the description, I assumed some compatibility with that bow front. Silly of me. It does not clean the bow shape as hopeful for. In fact, it doesn't clean that well on the "flat" sides either. I don't know how to describe it; it leaves stripes of cleanliness behind it, but not much more. I went back to my small-sized regular magnet product and resumed cleaning that way, and scrubbing the bow front with elbow grease. Keeping it. A little disappointed though.

Bought the medium version which is ideal for 10mm glass. Cleans the glass well and, so far, it hasn't become detached from the outside magnet. It's quite hard work though! The only problem, which is minor, is that the inside magnet tends to vibrate or oscillate as it travels, unless you move extremely slowly. This sets up small pressure waves through the water, enough to make the heater elements wobble when you're in the vicinity, and it freaks the fish out a bit, but only while it's going on. Overall, though, I'm very pleased with it.

I needed something that would help me easily clean my aquarium as it's over 2' deep and my pleco weren't keeping up. Looked around and this seemed to be the best product for its price. Good size and powerful magnet(watch your fingers). Used it on a 120G tank with 1/3" glass and worked great! Glass pad was needed as the blue acrylic pad was too soft. Takes a few swipes to clear thicker algae but not at all a hassle. Very easy to turn corners and switch sides. Haven't had any issues with the magnets detaching either.

Acuario de 45 litros y funciona muy bien. El imán es potente. Viene con dos tipos de limpiadores uno con una especie de fieltro y otro con un cepillo de finas cerdas
