Resists finger marking Contains no abrasives or harsh chemicals Leaves a smooth, clean, greaseless shine If the surface is extremely dirty, apply NOVUS No. 1 liberally and wipe using long, sweeping strokes. Do not use pressure at this time or large dirt particles may scratch the plastic. Re-apply NOVUS No. 1. Polish using short, circular strokes with a clean portion of the cloth. When surface is thoroughly clean and uniformly covered, buff to a slippery glaze with a clean portion of the cloth. Surfaces buffed to a high glaze are more resistant to dust and future scratching.

The Mag-Float® revolutionary patented floating aquarium cleaner removes algae from your aquarium without getting your hands wet. Super convenient floating cleaner, cleans aquarium surfaces and floats when the inner magnet separates from the outer magnet. Because you never have to reach into the aquarium, not only can you stay clean and dry, but also avoid toxic lotions or soap residue on your skin from getting into your aquarium water.   The Mag-Float’s powerful rare earth neodymium magnets provide a lifetime durability and ample strength to get the job done. Simply move the outside magnet that contains the felt, and the inside abrasive Velcro magnet scrubber follows, cleaning as it goes. If the magnets separate, the inner magnet floats right back to the surface, so you'll never have to dig around on the bottom. This prevents the magnet from picking up any debris and causing scratches on your tank. Its unique floating feature also permits easy and efficient movement around the corners of fish tanks, so you will no longer knock over decorations and damage corals and invertebrates as it happens with sinking magnet cleaners.   The neodymium magnets are covered by an injection- molded and toxic free plastic; preventing water contact with the magnet. Therefore rust will never occur allowing the Mag-Float® to be left attached to your aquarium surface at all times. This makes it convenient, and practical for storage and the next cleanup job.   Your tank size, surface thickness, and shape will determine which of the 11 models will best match your tank. From as little as small betta bowls to public aquariums, glass or acrylic, Mag-Float® covers the entire spectrum.

AquaBlade long scrapers feature solid fiberglass handles. Instead of using glues that break-down like other scrapers, the AquaBlade handles arev-grooved from the side and inserted into the head of the scraper during the injection molding process. Under thousands of pounds of pressure the handle is fused to the head becoming a part of the molded piece. The AquaBlade is injected molded as a solid piece of plastic which keeps water from entering the unit while using. This means no hollow handles and drizzling of excess water when removed from the aquarium. And without trapped aquarium water inside the scraper it will never develop odors from growing bacteria. By utilizing virgin plastic in the molding process instead of re-grind or recycled plastics, the AquaBlade is much stronger and more agile than other scrapers. The first time you pick up an AquaBlade you’ll notice the difference it makes. It feels strong and durable — perfect for work inside your aquarium. The AquaBlade cyan blade was created by testing countless different types of plastics and plastic blends. The results are a special self lubricating plastic that is softer than acrylic, so it will not scratch acrylic*. Constructed of 316 stainless steel, the AquaBlade metal blade is both strong and rust resistant so removing that stubborn coralline algae is a breeze.

User should check plastic blade surface periodically by running a finger or thumbnail across the surface. Some aquariums are made from low grade imported acrylic that is extremely soft and of very poor quality that can be easily scratched. User must exercise proper judgement in use and should test blade in an inconspicuous area prior to use to insure compatibility.
