Using a magfloat on my tank but it always comes off. Whats everyone using for their thick acrylic tanks?
The "Algae free" tiger shark float works good on my 5/8 glass. It is acrylic safe and is for aquariums 5/8 to 3/4". It is a really strong magnet and it won't be falling off at any time. They come in 4 sizes and work up to 1" thickness. http://www.algaefree.com/products.html. Nothing has worked as good as these and you can buy replacement pads for them.
Perfect! Thats what ill get! Thx you! Do you have to replace the pad? Or just buy the magnet for 120 and im ready to go?
Im tired of having to go slow with the magfloat, having to open the lids and reallign the magnet.
I just picked up a great white for my 520, I will let you guys know how it works when I use it. I still have my tiger for my 450 and it's still going strong. Here is another magnet that is supposed to be good but it doesn't float like the algae free ones if it comes apart.

finally looking at getting the Great white scrubber....where did you guys order it from including the addition pads? price? JLAquatic doesn't seem to have the great white but just the tiger.
Watch out as the great white is really strong and I found out after I bought it that it doesn't float if they become separated. Pain in the butt when they come apart and the magnet goes to the bottom of the tank. The tiger shark is the one to get as it's easier to push and floats if disconnected. Bought both of mine at a lfs.
