The Great Scrape Off : Aquarium Magnet Cleaner Competition - Gallery Aquatica TV

[@awilderireland]

Tunze. I was going to get the Flipper but saw a lot of comments online about it scratching the glass. I know that can happen with any scraper. But as I said a lot of comments! I got the Tunze long which suits the glass thickness in my tank. It now comes with the floats, a steel blade and two sets of plastic blades as standard. It also comes with different colour attachments to customise. No interest! I also bought extra steel blades as I had a stubborn form of spot algae (freshwater) that even a razor blade was having trouble removing. I wasted my money... The standard plastic blades removed it in one or two sweeps. I'm sure for saltwater the steel blade will come in handy.

[@taylor4tails]

Love my Tunze, coral close to the glass so it being thin helps. I agree it looks like all of these would work great, you cant really go wrong

[@SNBI2A]

That was fun haha. I love my algae free scrapper. Take down anything in one pass, the magnet is very strong.

[@zoecollishaw3829]

Haha loved this video! Better luck next time Tom :D

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Next time!

[@Simon_Stewart]

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Haha! How’d you find it?

[@Simon_Stewart]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV I am a huge fan of Gallery Aquatica, I had notifications on and alerts and popped up on my KZbin alerts so I thought, oh Cam has released a early tasty treat for us Reefers. Lol so I watched it, which was great! Lol 😆 didn’t know it was going to be this weeks show lol 😆

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Funny, someone must have accidentally changed the setting on it😂

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Thanks for not putting up a spoiler😂

[@ajsreef1034]

Hey Cam, before i watch the best magnet is the Tunze Care magnet right? :P

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Well I actually use the Tunze on the road these days, so it’s definitely up there with the best.

[@ajsreef1034]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV Everyone is a flipper kinda guy until they run a scratch across their front glass, then they become a Tunze guy :P

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Tom says the same thing. It’s amazing how divisive this topic is…

[@jahsreef8386]

Algae free is my favorite but not sure if you can get em in aus

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I’ve never used them, but they seem popular based on the comments. Cam

[@MrBestshot33]

After years of maintaining tanks as a business hands down Tunze

[@shallowreefing]

The Best magnet cleaner is the one that doesn't scratch your tank

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Agreed, however I think any magnet cleaner has the potential to scratch glass if used carelessly. Cam

[@fliflu9451]

Nice job boys 👍

[@viatameainaustralia7752]

Tunze for life

[@gocedimoski728]

Tunze💪

[@Mike__B]

While these all seemed to work great, I have found that they don't all scale in size with effectiveness. For instance for all the glory the Flipper got, the nano tank version really doesn't seem to work as well all things considered, ditto with the Tunze nano magnet, I mean that thing was way smaller than I thought too and it only comes with a plastic blade so yeah...

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I agree, I realised after we started the competition that it could never be totally fair. I had hoped to show the advantages and disadvantages of each brand, but to say everything would have made for video too long to enjoy.

[@Mike__B]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV Oh no worries. I think any of those 3 magnets would be fine for larger tanks with glass closer to the 1/2" thickness mark. I'm actually surprised the MagFloat did so well, I always thought of that one as a "meh" magnetic cleaner, but guess I never used with the scraper attachment.

[@richardportelli1983]

Magfloats are also great at scratching glass when sand or critters get stuck on the pad.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I wanted to have something to do with glass safety as a criteria for the game, but it just wasn’t practical. Tunze probably is the safest with the glass. Cam

[@MissChelle]

I have a curved tank… what would you recommend?❤️🇦🇺

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Probably best to stick to a normal (hand-held) scourer if it’s glass, and if it’s acrylic we sell “magic eraser” pads that work great on algae and won’t scratch acrylic. Cam

[@MissChelle]

I have magic sponge. I’m going to give it a go, thanks. 🇦🇺❤️

[@paulmeneely]

Very interesting. Why is Ryan called Shed Boy? 😆 Yes, Tom it's rigged.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Haha! Ryan is supposed to work in the shed with the coral ponds, but he escaped one day and we haven’t been able to get him back in. Cam

[@paulmeneely]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV Ha Ha. I suspected that was something kinky !🤣

[@mikeydee7815]

I have the flipper and the tunze and the tunze for me is the better one

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I think it’s better but takes a little more skill to master. Cam

[@mikeydee7815]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV I also like the mag float,I have it on a smaller aquarium ,haven’t tried the large one yet

[@madshepsreef282]

Iv got three flipper magnets, I won’t buy anything else

[@coraladdict5059]

The best brand won. Algae free are good too. Can’t stand the Flipper its such a gimmick as while flipping it that one scratched my glass so badly.

[@anniejefferson4642]

Replaceable Razor blade on stick. Amazon. Use delco blades. Thise magnets are accidents waiting to happen with sand. You guys board today? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

We sell an amazing blade holder that I use on lots of tanks. There are however, certain tanks and certain sections of glass in tanks that require the magnet cleaners. I keep an artillery of maintenance products on hand for every situation. Cam

[@tonyguarini6140]

Don’t buy Mag Float! It scratched my 75 gallon tank.
