An automatic Glass Cleaner....for all 4 sides!!! :O

[reefle]

Remember how I posted about robosnail but there was the issue of cleaning all four sides of the tank??

apparently this has been in development and hopefully gets released soon!!

The only issue I see with this is that it is bulky and probably cant reach the back walls if there are overflows. (personally wouldnt matter to me as it's painted)

Apparently, you can program it to avoid obstacles. So, if your rockwork touches the entire back glass, you could have it clean three sides. Something to keep an eye on.

Here is the manufacturer's web site (offsite) - http://www.oceanswipe360.com/

What I find interesting is that there is no dealer list or an option to buy from the manufacturer. This sort of tells me that what we are seeing is a prototype or one of the first made.

this looks like an expensive product, but it the price was right, I'd consider it. I don't need it to be able to clean all four sides though. the back and sides are areas for stuff to grow that my fish and CUC can eat.

Manually running a magnet cleaner around your tank every couple days only takes a couple minutes. I don't see this thing as very practical and it is a bit of a eye sore.
