nice scraping! i also saw someone recommending to put some ping pong balls (filled halfway with water) in your tanks for your fish to play with! they're kinda bare so it might help to give them something to do

What about a mirror? Goldfish are not usually aggressive to other goldfish so it won’t stress them out. Can they recognize their reflection?

Ahhh so clean 😊 My concern with magnetic ones is magnetic attraction and the material used to scrape. I found that it was prone to cause scratching on the glass with what I consider to describe as the microvelcro type 😅

The one I bought has tiny harsh teeth. I dislike it. Was too harsh on the glass. Maybe the other brands are better

They have different uses, the one with the blade is for harder algae such as diatoms, the magnetic one is for soft algae such as as cyanobacteria

I have one of the magnetic scrapers for my betta's tank. I keep it under the water and he loves sitting on it like it's a lounge chair.

It's all nice until you get a pebble stuck in the magnet and you scratch the glass

I’ve done that before and it sucked

As a kid, I used to clean my late father's aquarium with the magnetic one in early 2000. He used to be so proud that I clean his aquarium without him asking me to do it. Now, I'm in tears remembering those moments. 😭 Having an aquarium with fish can help you bond with your children. And also teaches them the meaning of life, natural food chain and taught them to be grateful for whatever meat you eat.

Thanks for showing us. I appreciate you testing these products so we know what's right for our tank. I actually have the magnetic scraper and I agree its very efficient ❤️❤️❤️

I have a magnetic one for my large tank, never had an issue with it and it's been years. I've even noticed that when you wanna swap sides, you can just move the handle to the other corner and the scrubber will either float away then quickly float back and attach cause magnets or just stay together lol And worse case scenario, mine floats so. I never lose it lol

Fatal Flaw of the magnetic cleaners is when fine sand gets stuck in the bristles and it's goodbye to your scratch free glass surface. 😭

I’ve tried them all. I have different uses for each. The scraper is for the tough algae specs, the magnet is first go to because of easy to reach deep areas, sponge to be more exact

The razors always freak me out. Occasionally I've gone too fast and been a bit careless and accidentally scraped a bit of silicone. So far it's been okay but I'm worried I'm gonna screw it up bad haha

I prefer using a card but these scrapers caught my eye

I think a small magnetic one is good to keep clipped on the side for quick fast maintenance. And keep a metal scraper for those hard to reach places or the more built up algae spots the metal blade is the best. The sponge is okay too. But the plastic one simply isnt strong enough it just goes right over the algae...

The magnetic scraper was a standard in my country when I was little. It also entertained children.

That’s really cool! Keep up the good work Gigachad Goldfish Man!

Growing up I used to go with my dad to work, he used to have an aquarium cleaning business and sometimes I’d help him clean the tanks. My favorite part was the magnet bar algae wipers.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Since your goldfish keep getting stuck between the sponge filters in your big tubs, have you ever considered implementing a kind of grid like divider? It may lessen the swimming area for the fish but would keep them from getting over to the sponges. Or, you could put the sponge filters in kind of a “cage” or box with holes too small for your fish to get through. That might help lessen the worry when you travel.

I feel like mag floats and this similar one are actually really good for the aquarium community. People over-treat with chemicals so much. Often just because there’s buildup on the glass. It gets a lot of fish killed. Being able to just scrape it off without getting messy/wet is a great alternative

I use a 26 inch razor blade extension and put a sock around it For the majority of the tank and use the razor blade for the bottom edges by the sand works great super cheap

When my brother had a fish tank, he got a magnetic scraper and I would always check every day to see if the algae needed to be scraped off cause it was fun.

I had one of those on my tank as a kid! I remember scraping back and forth for HOURS, making sure to get all the gunk off. I was easy to entertain

I don't even have fish but watched the whole short because it intrigued me and it was so satisfying to see the cleaning process 😂.

I used to have so much fun using the magnetic scraper as a kid. So from personal experience I also recommend It for coming with the bonus of getting your kids to be invested in the fish and health of the tank.

Pro tip: dont buy the magnetic ones with a hard bristle. Will scratch your glass like mine. Now my aquarium looks like a mosaic painting😂 im about to make another aquarium coz of it

Nice I have one my self their pretty cool

I have the magnet one for my aquarium and it is fun to play with. Sometimes the fishes are running after it. It's cute.

@LushFishyTanks its not days its videos and if i had dome it in days then my days would be more than 350

We also have a small magnetic one, but the fish and shrimp just keep the tank clean for a bit

I never see algae like this on my tanks. I think it’s because I have Bristlenose Catfish, Amano shrimp and Ramshorn snails in my tanks. Sometimes a quick wipe with a soft cloth.

I don't even have a fish tank. And I liked this video.

My dad actually works at a manufacturing facility where they make these! I test them for him and they work great. I really reccomend them

Disclaimer: it doesn’t come so easilly off if you don’t do it often. The longer the algae sticke, the more difficult it is to scrape off

Everyone will have their own preferences but personally I’ve noticed with the magnetic ones they leave micro scratches on the glass so I prefer sponges. Great informative video though!

I used to clean 2x 300gal and 1 500gal bow tank a few times a week- the magnetised sponges were lifesavers and saved me soooo much time. They’re also great for cleaning windows from the outside! (Assuming you have initial access to the outside pane & remember to secure the handle to something so it doesn’t fall to the ground accidentally when you pull your side too far… source: me tryina do the tanks and having to go find the other half floating around somewhere) I have the smell of salt tanks in my nose now 🥰

That metal one was so satisfying

That's cool

I used to have the magnetic one and honestly it's so convenient _and_ effective

Yeah the magnet one is great for fresh algae but it doesn't get the harder brown diatoms, I like using a mix of both or all three if it's a deep clean

I agree with this. The magnetic ones are great, but they are useless at getting into the corners

the best ones are the magfloats so you barely have to get your hands wet at all also comes in handy when the scraper falls off at the corners

Dang, I remember using that magnetic one when my house used to have fish! It was a little annoying sometimes but it worked well.

Finally I have been waiting for this video

The reason these worked so well for you is because you have soft algea. The sponge and magnetic don't work on saltwater brown/red algea. The metal one works but a razor is best to get that stubborn crap off

That magnet cleaner is the best about owning an aquarium 😂

I leave the magnetic scraper near the top left of the tank screen and often I'll find smaller fish and snails perched onto it.

Wonderful experiment 😊

The only bad thing about the magnetic scrapper is that it scratches plastic tanks, so when you try to clean with it, it ends up just making the sides look terrible

@Nicole Campau that's good to know, I've never had one of those but I'll keep an eye out

Magnetic cleaners are the bane of the aquarium hobby, it so easily picks up solid debris between the bars, and then youl have tons of microscratches. For me a melamine sponge is the absolute best tool for cleaning aquariums, i suspekt the sponge last in the video is melamine too judging by the look of it

You should get a flipper edge algae scraper, it's a magnetic algae scraper with a metal blade attached to both ends for optimal algae removal, it's what I am going to use for my 120 saltwater reef system

As kids years ago us kids LOVED using the first one on our dad's aquariums. It was so fun. Pain in the butt once they detach lol but still fun. Man I miss being young 😂

If you get another magnet one and try to get another sponge like one, you have could probably make your own DIY not as good as the company would make, but you could probably make a decent one having a magnetic sponge sounds like it would be pretty useful

Here's something to note. Sandy / dusty tanks shouldn't use a magnetic scraper as the sand will get under it and scratch the tank. Acrylic tanks shouldn't use the metal or plastic scraper as it can be cut into.

That is quite satisfying ❤

Could probably use the sponge to help put certain nutrients in newer fresher tanks

I have one of those magnetic ones for my betta tank. Works great, but I agree about it not handling corners well.

Goldfish are farmers. They poop and eat, and because of that, they grow and fertilize algea. When it's full grown, a big hand drops by and scrapes it off the glass. That's when they can come in and eat the chunks of algea

Heh i don’t even have fish but heeey I’m hooked! Nice products. Love your goldies ❤

remember playing with this as a kid great fun

I liked the sponge because it seems really safe, especially since Mr. Clean was trying to cut his face off that one time

you just made me remember childhood memories with my dad

Magnetic one works on any glass. I used to use one when I lived in a 2 story house to clean both sides of windows.

Great scrapping!! Some of the pothos leafs submerged gives me some OCD I think the whole plant good grow faster (suck more nutrients) with all its leafs out of the water.

Dudes a Chad when it comes to goldfish

If I ever get a tank, I'd get that magnetic one and use it to clean only the front glass. Good looking side and the rest is snacks for the fish

Thanks for the advice

one thing about magnet scrapers is grains of gravel or sand or hard particles getting in between magnetic pieces against the glass inside and outside which can easily scratch up glass. i personally hate it because of that reason. i like the proscraper with the metal or sponge

I always end up scratching the glass after one year of carefully using the magnetic one. After one year I either want to be more efficient and rush through it, or no longer care as much. I don't use them anymore. I keep forgetting fish can spit substrate on top of the magnetic scraper and I start using it and end up scraping sand/gravel that managed to wedge itself between the glass and scraper

I too like the sponge scrapers!

Ohh nice I've been using the magnetic one, honestly haven't seen those other ones before

The plastic one if for acrylic tanks because they scratch easy 😊

I prefer employing organisms for this job tank stays clear and is more diverse and sustainable

I already had one of the magnetic ones and I love it so much ❤

The plastic attachment might be in the set for acrylic tanks. 😊

I remember messing around with the magnet algae scrapers, I'd take the outer magnet off and then have trouble making them the way they were before; sometimes having to delve my hand into the water just to reposition them

I remember my cousin had the magnets when he had fishes, I would always drop and mess up the magnets so he had to put his hand in there to fix it😂

That’s a really nice thing

we have that magnet one for our aquarium it's really very easy to use👀

That is so satisfying

Sponge always for me, i tossed the rest of mine in the trash. Gets everything in one motion and not 10 choppy motions.

i never thought about it, but we had an aquarium at some point and we had the magnetic thing. i just thought it was the standard but apparently not

I've got one of those, they work great

Everyone was using a magnetic one here back in the day, but that's bigger and probably higher quality.

Most efficient. Proceed to wipe multiple times to clean one area

If you have a tank with aquarium gravel at the bottom don't use the magnetic ones they easily get small stones between them and scratch your glass !!

when the magnetic part inside the tank falls:

I tried something like the magnetic one. It was TERRIBLE but it was definitely a different one.

When i was 4 my arm were broken so i had to stay in hospital sometime i would play with the scraper ahh the memories

With the magnetic, be carefull not to get any gravel into the brush... it will scrape your glass

I actually had the magnetic one as a kid ots rly fun to use

So satisfying lol probably also satisfying for the fish

Ikr my grandpa has that type of algea scraper

I’ve been seeing too many breaking bad shorts lately, all I could think of was ‘MAGNETS BITCH’

Yeah but sometimes the magnet comes off and you gotta reach to the bottom of your tank to get it reattached 😢

I always use the magnetic ones I didn’t know other ones existed lol

my dad has been using the magnetic ones for years and years and i remember we had this fish who attacked the damn thing everytime we moved it 💀😭

I use the magnet ones they work splendidly

its all fun and games until you get a rock in-between the magnets 💀
