Mag float question for acrlic

Im not 100% but I recall I think on RC about people not liking magfloats because any sand or anything between the pad will scratch the F outa the tank

 

I managed to pick up sand and scratch my acrylic display tank with an acrylic safe mag float. I replaced it with an Algae Free brand 1-2 years ago which uses replaceable acrylic safe pads.

I cut replacemnt pads to fit my Mag float and I've been using it on one of my ohther tanks with absolutely no problems ever since.

I think the answer is probably a yes. Just be careful because you can still pick up sand in an acrylic safe pad.

 

Folter floss works good

 

Magic eraser original works wonders, even takes out small scratches eventually.

 

Magic erasers can be used in the tanks?

 

yup

 

Wow. Ive been wanting to use something that wouldnt scratch the glass. I had no idea u could use one in the tank. With water in it. No chemicals in it?

 

Yes, you have to make sure you use the original plain jane one. I have used them for years with no ill effects at all.

 

Well thanks for the tip!

 

I also use them have never had a problem

 

Yep, me too in freshwater and saltwater.
