The Easy Blade™ can be attached to the following magnets (as claimed by the manufacturer):

Piranha Float, Hammerhead Float, Tiger Shark Float & Great White Float

Mag-Float 350 (Size L)

Magnavore 8 & Magnavore 10

Zoo Zajac

JBJ

Amtra

Papillon

I've decided to test my Easy Blade™ using my old Tunze Magnet :)

And don't ask me why I chose the black version :unsure:

As expected of any effective algae scrapper, the Easy Blade™ comes with a metal blade... can be hidden for transportation and safety. Just unscrew, slide/extend the blade and screw tight.

Click on the video below, it will show you how easy this process can be :)

Here's the tricky part... in order for it to work, you need to permanently mount it to an existing magnet cleaner :erm: So I've decided to use Superglue (as recommended by Algae-Free) to do the job.

For me, mounting it to my $100 magnet cleaner is not an option at all. In order to preserve the blade (to avoid rusting), Easy Blade™ must be removed from the tank after use. Therefore, it is practical to just recycle one of your old magnets or just get a Mag Float (Size L) :P

Let's do this slightly differently this time...

Before...

After (oops... I missed a spot there) :paiseh:

251013.jpg

Sparkling clean :eyebrow: Well... I had so much difficulty cleaning the corners of my tank (especially near the sand bed) as I have corals very close to the glass surface, restricting access to my magnet cleaner... and those coralline algae are really tough :angry:

But with Easy Blade™, I just need to run it through once... yes once is all it takes!!! :P

This is how the product looks like... all set to go :yeah:

After a few manouveurs... I believe I've made the right decision for not using a stronger magnet... a "less-strong" magnet will ensure smoother operation... sorta gliding through :)

Ok... without further delay... enjoy the show... :lol:

See how the scraper GLIDES through... the angled scraper also allow me to reach areas conventional "boxy" magnet cleaners can't reach :)

It is also very effective for the top area... as the product allows me to reach 3" beyond my usual magnet cleaner's range. Now I can clean both visible and invisible areas :lol:

That's all I've got guys... NO SCRATCH!!! But it takes a lot of patience to slowly glides the scraper... I will use this occasionally when the needs arise... for me, Easy Blade™ will not replace a conventional magnet cleaner... they are different products designed for different purposes in different situations :)

But if your magnet is the big boxy kind, the scrapper will not be able to reach the area where there are limited spaces from the tank wall to the corals , so i guess its better to get a slim magnet to go with it ,True?

Yes... the narrower the better... but bear in mind you need the thickness in order for the scrapper to mount properly :)

ic, Thanks, but the other problem is if you do not glue it well , when scrapping, it wil have the tendency to drop right?

Wad abt using the magnetic attraction to clamp it?

When you check already can let me know? Thanks. Btw is the super glue gel on

promotion?

Checked. I bought it from STANDARD, the stationery shop at Funan IT Mall (are they still there now?)... normal price, $3.45 for 2 x 2g tubes. I just used it to stick my Rics to a piece of rock... it works brilliantly!!!

Anyone think I should start a SUPERGLUE product review? :lol::lol::lol:
