Care Magnet +
- For aquariums with a glass thickness of 19 to 26 mm (¾" - 1"). When fitted with acrylic blades, also suitable for cleaning acrylic aquariums.
- Includes a reinforced plastic blade, a stainless steel blade and a transparent acrylic blade. The stainless steel blade removes stubborn deposits from glass. By rotating and flipping the acrylic blade, all four cleaning edges can be used.
- Rounded blade corners make it easier to move to the adjacent aquarium pane and help protect the silicone joints.
- Slim, ergonomic design for controlled handling. The two Care Boosters serve as handles and allow the inner magnet to float to the surface if it detaches.
- The inner magnet stays more than 3 mm away from the aquarium pane. This reduces the risk of aquarium sand becoming trapped and causing scratches.

Description
The TUNZE Care Magnet is a magnetic glass cleaner for saltwater and freshwater aquariums. It is designed for glass thicknesses of 19 to 26 mm or 3/4 to 1 inch. 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 with two cutting edges is included. The magnets are protected by polyurethane potting. Black natural wool felt forms the outer contact surface. The detachable Care Boosters act as a buoyancy aid inside and as a grip aid outside.

Specifications
Acrylic blade and optimized retaining clip
The reversible, filler-free acrylic blade can be used on all four edges. It is softer than glass to reduce the risk of scratching and features four scraping edges for a long service life.
The two-stage adjustable blade spacing provides two individually selectable distances from the glass and more clearance for particles.
Includes an optimized retaining clip for a permanently secure hold.
Care Magnet — Care for your aquarium
The Care Magnet concept was the signature innovation of 2014 in the field of window pane cleaner design, which is comprised of an ergonomic handle and special plastic blades made of wear-resistant high performance plastic.
Why care?
The inner magnet is more than 3 mm (.2") away from the aquarium and thus prevents the jamming of the aquarium sand. Due to this distance from the glass pane, the Care Magnet significantly reduces the risk of glass damage.
The two plastic blades remove the algae considerably better from the glass panes than a flat cleaning surface – almost as good as a sharp metal blade. The life of a blade is from several months up to approx. one year. The low flow resistance during the cleaning with a simultaneous high magnetic coupling, makes a separation of the magnet nearly impossible.
The large blade should only be modified with the included stainless steel blade for aquarium glass panes with particularly tough algae, e.g. older deposits on the side walls or thick calcareous algae.
On acrylic panes, please use the acrylic blade. It is gentler than the plastic blades, but scratches can still occur. Do not use the Care Booster on the outside, as the natural wool felt is gentler, and pay close attention to the cleanliness of the blades and felt, as adhering particles can cause scratches. Use the stainless steel blade on glass only.
Important note regarding application: The Care Magnet is designed to reduce the risk of scratches on the aquarium glass by providing distance from the glass surface and using special blade materials. Nevertheless, scratches can occur due to adhering particles such as sand or dust. Please ensure before each use that both the contact surfaces of the cleaner and the glass are completely free of contaminant objects. The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by contaminated surfaces or improper use.
With Care Booster
The Care Booster literally gives the 2020 Care Magnet upgrade a new «boost». Two floats with 4 retaining clips, which are supplied with Care Magnet long, strong and strong+, ensure that the Care Magnet’s inner cleaning magnet can float to the surface as soon as it detaches from the outer magnet. The Care Booster can also be used as a convenient grip aid for the outer magnet.
Thanks to its slim design, the plants and the corals will not be disturbed.
The Care Magnet can also be used on round aquarium panes or round-arched panes.
Plastic blades with round edges enable a smooth transition to the next pane at the aquarium edges without damaging the silicone joints.
It can also be used as a hand scraper.
The patented principle, which uses plastic blades with a different length, creates a varying application pressure, enabling the narrow blade to remove even tightly attached algae. With the wide blade, it is possible to perform a large-scale algae removal.
It doesn't distribute the algae within the aquarium as a green dust; it rather roles them up completely, and through this turns the algae film into actual food for the fish.
