hygger Magnetic Aquarium Glass Cleaner, Medium, Floating Algae Scraper

hygger Magnetic Aquarium Glass Cleaner removes algae and surface dust from aquarium walls with a magnetic brush and detachable stainless-steel and plastic scraper options.

• Detachable stainless-steel and plastic scrapers — choose the scraper recommended for your tank material.
• Magnetic brush with a floating pickup feature — retrieve it without putting your hands in the water when it moves beyond its magnetic range.
• Soft velvet outer brush and cleaning inner brush — address fingerprints and dust outside, and algae inside.
• Small, medium, and large size options — select according to the thickness of your aquarium glass.
• Usable on freshwater and saltwater aquariums — suited to different aquarium setups.

Algae on the inside of a tank and dust or fingerprints on the outside can make routine glass cleaning a two-sided task. hygger’s magnetic brush lets you work from outside the aquarium, using the inner and outer brushes together or the outer brush alone according to what needs cleaning.

Which scraper should I use for my aquarium?

Use the stainless-steel scraper for a glass fish tank and the plastic scraper for an acrylic fish tank. The scrapers are detachable, so you can remove the scraper and clean with the velvet surface when the glass only has dust. The scraper is not sharpened, but remove it carefully.

• Stainless-steel scraper: recommended for glass aquariums.
• Plastic scraper: recommended for acrylic aquariums.
• Velvet-only cleaning: remove the scraper when you are cleaning dust.

What tank thickness does each size fit?

The small brush suits tanks up to 0.25 in (6.35 mm) thick, and the medium brush suits tanks from 0.25 to 0.38 in (6.35 to 9.652 mm) thick. The large brush suits tanks with 0.75 in (19.05 mm) thickness. Choose the size based on your aquarium wall thickness.

The magnetic force holds the brush against the tank as you clean. If the brush moves beyond its magnetic force range, it floats up so you can retrieve it without getting your hands wet. For larger aquariums, a large and a small magnetic brush can be used together.

• Small: aquarium thickness no more than 0.25 in (6.35 mm).
• Medium: aquarium thickness of 0.25–0.38 in (6.35–9.652 mm).
• Large: aquarium thickness of 0.75 in (19.05 mm).

How does the brush clean both sides of the tank?

The soft velvet outer brush cleans exterior dust and fingerprints while the inner brush works on algae along the aquarium’s inside wall. Hold the handle as you move the cleaner, and use the outer brush alone or both brushes together depending on the cleaning needed.

Light green algae can be removed in one pass, while hard spots may take several passes. The cleaner can also be used on glass surfaces such as windows, as well as freshwater and saltwater tanks. Do not move the cleaner horizontally with a scraper installed, to avoid scratching the glass.

• Outer velvet: for dust and fingerprints on the outside.
• Inner brush: for algae on the inside wall.
• Scraper safety: avoid horizontal cleaning while a scraper is attached.

This cleaner suits aquarium keepers who want to handle interior algae and exterior dust from outside the tank, with scraper options for glass or acrylic. It is also useful for glass surfaces such as windows, and its size options are selected by aquarium wall thickness.
