Care Magnet with transparent acrylic blade on precision-ground glass blocks in a dark blue photo studio

The blade makes contact.
The magnet keeps its distance.

More than 3 mm of clearance from the glass reduces the risk
of trapping sand between the magnet body and the glass.

In use near the substrate.

This is where distance matters most.

Technical product description

The TUNZE Care Magnet is a magnetic glass cleaner for saltwater and freshwater aquariums. Care Magnet 0222.016 covers glass thicknesses from 10 to 16 mm, Care Magnet + 0222.026 the range from 19 to 26 mm. The stated inch thicknesses are also approved. Both models are 86 mm wide and 140 mm long.

The inner magnet keeps more than 3 mm away from the glass. The plastic blades of different lengths combine cleaning of larger surfaces with higher contact pressure at the short blade. Rounded blade shapes make it easier to work along the edges of the glass. Do not run the blade directly into silicone seams.

The included fibre-free acrylic blade has four usable cutting edges. Turning it lets you use the next edge. A retaining bracket with locking slide holds the special blade. For stubborn deposits on glass, a saltwater-resistant stainless steel blade from Solingen with two cutting edges is included.

The magnets are protected by polyurethane potting. Black natural wool felt forms the outer contact surface. Only the Care Magnet comes with two felt options to adjust the magnetic force. The detachable Care Boosters act as a buoyancy aid inside and as a grip aid outside. For acrylic, all contact surfaces must be fitted accordingly; the standard plastic blades and the stainless steel blade are not intended for this.

Notes on use with acrylic

The fibre-free acrylic blade extends the options for delicate surfaces. According to the instructions, the standard plastic blades are not intended for acrylic. A single acrylic blade on the long blade carrier therefore does not make the complete inner unit suitable for acrylic. The fitting at the short end must also be suitable for the respective acrylic surface.

On the outside, felt must prevent plastic parts or the sliding surfaces of the Care Booster from rubbing directly on the pane. Follow the aquarium manufacturer's instructions and check all contact surfaces for foreign particles. This does not constitute a general approval for all acrylic surfaces or a guarantee against scratches. Use stainless steel blades on glass only.
