    I got one a few days ago felt it was my responsibility to spread the word. these are the BEST mag cleaners I've ever used! The most notable feature is the size of the wet side. It's only about 1/4 thick, so it fits between the glass and pretty much anything that's not touching the glass. The small size also improves its aerodynamics. This may seem trivial for a mag cleaner, but after a few times blasting it across the glass at full speed less than an inch away from the sand, you begin to see how much it matters. It doesn't create any turbulence, so it doesn't stir sand no matter how close you get. It also has some of the strongest magnets I've used. My mag float blows off the glass if I move to quickly against the flow of my Ecotech pump, but this little guy is yet to fall off. This stronger magnetic force also gives it the ability to get stuff off that I used to have to hand scrape. It even takes of coralline algae. It's rated up to 3/8 glass, so it may even be a good addition to get into tight spots on bigger tanks. If they put out a bigger one it will be a staple of this hobby in no time.

    It is flexible? This sounds like good news for people like me with bow front glass. So do you think it is only good for small tanks or will it work on bigger tanks with thicker glass and more surface area?

    Hmmmm... I guess it's cool. I normally take my time when I'm cleaning the glass with my mag float anyways, so stirring/displacing the sand isn't a problem.

    Extremely flexible. It bends around the rounded corners of nano cube tanks.

    Yes, I had answered a post a couple days ago of someone asking if it was a good Mag cleaner. I said yes and was considering one for my Biocube. I read some reviews and one said it is a great little Mag cleaner for what it does and all the things mentioned but that after 2 months it stated falling apart. At $10 I don't like that it may fall apart. If only used for tight spots with a more limited use it may be well worth it and I still plan on trying a couple of them.
