What is the best algae cleaning magnet I can buy for a 90 gallon aquarium?

Any Magnavore owners have any positive or negative feedback to share.

i nave a magnavore 4er. i'm very happy with it. the one thing with these is you need the measure your glass and buy the one made for the thickness of your glass.

I have a Hammerhead Float that work well. Make sure you get
an Algae cleaning magnet that floats. There are many different brands.

I like my new Kent scraper. My magnetic scraper left a couple scratches in my tank. It only takes one grain of sand to ruin the fun. ;)

I ditched my magfloat. Just like GROOVE said, it only take a grain of sand to do damage to the glass.
I'm using the kent scraper with the metal blade. it works better and faster than the magfloat.

hmmm..I've been kinda careful w/Magnavore...maybe I'll switch & start using the scraper more..have to take a look at the tank near sand line. I usually keep well above the sand, and use scraper near the sand
