    Wow, you know I was so thrown off , I didn't even notice they didn't float. Yikes, whats that, another 250.00 ?

    The first cheapo I bought gave you a piece of string in the box. I figured, hey its a magnet why will it fall. OK so after scooping it out three times, I out on the string. Yup , that broke and wasn't long enough to reach the bottom.

    what about the magnetic pump holders...cant remember the name of it but my LFS sold those and had a polishing cover that went over it...that seems to work fairly well..better then some have worked for me....anybody have experience with those and the more expensive magnet cleaner. I am glad somebody posted this cause I was wondering what those $180 cleaners did? I found out one thing about the magnetic pump holders though..cant leave it in the tank cause algea will start to grow out of the polishing cover

    Hey now we are talking.
    If I can keep my hands out of the tank that would be great.

    Maybe Santa will be good to me this year...


    Cheers
