Care Magnet — Care for your aquarium The Care Magnet concept was the signature innovation of 2014 in the field of window pane cleaner design, which is comprised of an ergonomic handle and special plastic blades made of wear-resistant high performance plastic. Why care? The inner magnet is more than 3 mm (.2") away from the aquarium and thus prevents the jamming of the aquarium sand. Due to this distance from the glass pane, the Care Magnet significantly reduces the risk of glass damage.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 approx. 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.We expressly do NOT recommend using the Care Magnet on ACRYLIC! If you still want to try it at your own risk, 1.) use only the short blades, as they are gentler, 2.) do NOT use the Care Booster on the outside, as the natural felt is gentler and 3.) pay close attention to the purity of the felt, as adhering particles can cause scratches.Important note regarding application: The Care Magnet is designed to reduce the risk of scratches on the aquarium glass by providing distance from the glass surface and using special blade materials. Nevertheless, scratches can occur due to adhering particles such as sand or dust. Please ensure before each use that both the contact surfaces of the cleaner and the glass are completely free of contaminant objects. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by contaminated surfaces or improper use. The patented principle, which uses... 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 Care Magnet can also... be used on round aquarium panes or round-arched panes. Plastic blades with round edges... enable a smooth transition to the next pane at the aquarium edges without damaging the silicone joints. 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.
