Product Information

Full details

The Oase Magnetic Aquarium Glass Cleaner is an essential maintenance tool for both freshwater and saltwater aquarium hobbyists looking to keep their tank glass spotless without getting their hands wet. By utilizing powerful integrated magnets, this device allows you to scrub away algae from the interior glass surface using only the external handle, ensuring a quick and effective cleaning process. While it provides excellent control and ease of use, it is specifically calibrated for glass thickness up to 10mm, meaning it may lack the necessary magnetic strength for thicker aquarium tanks or acrylic surfaces.

FAQs

Can I use this on an acrylic tank?

No, this cleaner is specifically designed for glass aquariums and is not recommended for acrylic surfaces to prevent scratching.

What happens if the internal unit falls off?

The internal unit is designed to sink. You will need to retrieve it from the bottom of your tank and realign it with the external handle.

Is this safe for saltwater tanks?

Yes, it is perfectly safe to use in both freshwater and saltwater aquarium environments.

How often should I clean the scrubbing pad?

It is recommended to rinse the pad after every single use to prevent algae buildup and ensure no grit is left on the surface.

Will this clean the corners of the tank?

The compact 96 x 55 x 37mm design allows for relatively easy navigation, but you should move carefully near silicone seams to avoid catching the pad edge.

Does the magnetic force damage aquarium equipment?

As long as you keep the magnet away from electronic components, heaters, and delicate pumps, it will not interfere with your aquarium equipment.

Troubleshooting

Magnetic connection is weak

Verify that your glass thickness is not exceeding the 10mm limit. Ensure there is no debris between the magnet and the glass surface.

Internal unit keeps falling off

Move the external handle more slowly to maintain the magnetic grip, especially when navigating around corners or heavy algae patches.

Scrubbing pad appears dirty or ineffective

Remove the internal unit and rinse the cleaning pad thoroughly under warm tap water to dislodge trapped algae and buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the cleaner, simply pull the two halves apart and place them on opposite sides of the aquarium wall. This cleaner is strictly compatible with glass aquariums up to 10mm thick. For proper care, rinse the internal scrubbing pad with fresh water after every use to remove debris and residual algae. Ensure the unit is completely dry before storing it away from metal objects. Never use this tool on dry glass, as it may result in surface scratches; always ensure the aquarium is filled with water during use.
