Jay Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Does anyone know who sells the white pads to replace the ones that come with the algae free magnets? I think just about any thin white pad would work.(scratch) Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coralreefer Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Be careful--"any" pad may scratch, especially depending on whether acrylic or glass tank...almost any LFS should carry pads you are looking for... DrMerle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Not sure if the algae free magnet is the same as the mag float but I just took a white acrylic pad I picked up at petco and cut it to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Needs to be thin pad I think. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newfisher Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Are you using it on glass or acrylic? If Acrylic , a trick I learned from dj_gianti, for a couple bucks get a small square peice of acrylic cut and sharpened at 90 degrees to the flat surface and use it to safely scrape of the inner area of the tank. gets your arm wet, but does a great job-fast.

Michael7979 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 What about a small piece of a shammie? I know they sell small sizes, like 3"x3". Just don't remember where I got mine. I use it on the outside of my glass tank under my Mag-float. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it on the outside of my glass tank under my Mag-float. Cool idea. I have one in the garage. I'll dig it out and put it on mine for the outside.
