Mag Float magnetic glass cleaner safe on silicone if fish tank?

[Dennerle]

Hi all

Anyone is using magnetic glass cleaner for your fish tank?

Would like to check if this is safe for the silicone lining of fish tank?

I have seen people swiping on their glass and they kinda need to use alot of force to move it till the point the tank is like moving and the fish tank definitely moves sway abit.

 

Through such force..Will the silicone eventually lose the grip and cause leakages?

most reefers using magnetic glass cleaners, probably would advise u not to oversize too much such that magnet is gripping so strong that u need a large force to move it resulting in the tank swaying, otherwise just get the correct magnet to the correct glass thickness.

For safety, its best to slide the magnet to connect rather than straight on connect as u risk smashing the glass or clamp ur fingers

Normally i would avoid using the sharp ends of the blades and go clean the silicone seam. Also not to use too much force to clean the glass in a bid to get things done quick, slow and steady cleaning and u shld be good.

Hope this helps

Thanks Otaku!

My glass thickness is 8mm and I am using the magfloat long version that support up to 10mm.

Hope that is alright!

Same here i slide to connect the magnet instead of letting it float in water and snap it. The sound is very deafening and threatening if done that way.

Will take note to slowly glide through the glass instead of gliding fast
