Interesting. My worry is that it would pick up little tiny bits of sand and then end up scraping the glass. This happens with the regular mag-float. If you get any little bit of sand in there, and then swipe the glass, the sand can scratch the glass.

Pretty fast thing.

Oxy- that happens to me often trying to get algae down by the sand line with my magnet cleaner.. how do you go after algae without picking up sand and scratching?

This is the sort of device you get when you have everything and want a new toy. At $200 or $250 depending upon the model, you can get a lot of other algae cleaning gear.

I have found it best to use an algae scraper such as this example (offsite) - http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3728+3764+24538&pcatid=24538

Use the metal blade on glass tanks only.

Agree. I use the mag-float for all of the glass but near the sand. I have a long handled metal scrapper to get the algae near the sand.
