Tunze Care Algae Magnet ‘Long’ 0220.015 for 10 – 15mm Thick Glass.

Tunze Care Algae Magnets are magnetic cleaners used for cleaning aquarium glass. They are available in a range of sizes for glass thicknesses from 6mm up to 20mm thick.

The “ Tunze Care Magnet“ is a new design that consists of an ergonomic handle with special plastic blades made of wear-resistant high performance plastic. The patented slim Care Magnet is significantly more compact than conventional algae magnets with a large cleaning surface, it is unobtrusive and therefore able to remain within the aquarium when not in use.

Why “Care Magnet”?

This glass cleaner doesn‘t cause any scratches on internal aquarium panes, glass or acrylic. The inner magnet is more than 3mm away from the aquarium and thus reduces the jamming of the aquarium sand. The two plastic blades remove the algae considerably better from the glass panes than a flat cleaning surface – almost as good as a sharp metal blade. The life of a blade is from several months up to approximately one year. The low flow resistance during the cleaning with a simultaneous high magnetic coupling, makes a separation of the magnet nearly impossible. The large blade should only be modified with the included stainless steel blade for aquarium glass panes with particularly tough algae, e.g. older deposits on the side walls or thick calcareous algae.

* Patented design using plastic blades with a different length, creates a varying application pressure, enabling the narrow blade to remove even tightly attached algae. With the wide blade, it is possible to perform a large-scale algae removal.

* Thanks to its slim design, the plants and the corals will not be disturbed.

* The plastic blades are also suitable for acrylic panes. The Care Magnet can also be used on curved aquarium glass.

* Plastic blades with round edges enable a smooth transition to the next pane at the aquarium edges without damaging the silicone seals.

* It doesn‘t distribute the algae within the aquarium as a green dust; it rather roles them up completely, and through this turns the algae film into actual food for the fish.

* It can also be used as a hand scraper.
