Guys,

Deanos turned me onto this little thingy - thought it was kewl and for $15 (for us non-DIY types) it was a good solution to clean all that coraline off the front of the glass - BTW, you don't have to keep it in your reef with the metals blade, you should take it out.

Oh i saw one in action, good stuff, its made by RichT over at NJRC

 

[alrha]

oooh, i want one!

do i smell a group buy?

 

[janey]

i'm down for group buy on this..

 

[alrha]

actually i think the price includes shipping, so there really wouldnt seem to be an advantage to a group buy. even if we get a discount, 10% would be $1.50, not really worth the hassle.

Pics are on the site Jim posted. The purchaser attaches it to their magnet using pvc glue or super glue.

I saw the site I want to see it attached to the magnet.

They have been making for years a small magnet that has 2 razor blades on it and you can use it to scrap the glass clean. Works pretty well but they're only a bout 2"-3" long and aren't that strong.

I have the rare earth magnets by far the best I've bought they do a great job
but dont get the old growth coraline off.

i guess once you glue it on then you can no longer leave the magnet in the tank.

Not true. The razor blade is removable via the plastic thumb screws. I leave the mag-float in-tank like always.

well you can ,it also come with a plastic balde as well ,but for the really tuff coralline ,the razor works best .
But you will use this only once a month or so for the coraline

ok good. because it would be a hassle to have to take the magnet out each time.
