Detailed Beginner Guide & Usage Instructions

1. Setup & Safety Precautions

Before placing the magnet on your aquarium, inspect both pads to ensure no stray aquarium gravel, sand, or hard debris is trapped underneath. Trapped substrate particles can scratch glass panels. Separate the two halves, place the internal scrubber inside the tank against the glass, and align the external handle directly opposite it on the outside.

2. Cleaning Technique

Move the external handle in slow, steady horizontal or circular motions. The powerful neodymium core will lock the two pieces tightly together, allowing the internal pad to scrub away routine algae and detritus buildup. Avoid forcing the magnet too quickly over heavy, calcified green spot algae, as gentle repeated passes yield a safer, cleaner finish.

3. Post-Cleaning Care

When finished, slide the magnet units safely into a corner of the aquarium before separating them, or slide them away from the edge carefully to store. Periodically rinse the internal scrubbing pad under clean tap water to remove trapped organic matter, ensuring it remains hygienic for future maintenance sessions.
