Algea magnet on 3/4 inch glass

Chase31 · #1 11-23-2013, 07:48 PM

So my glass is 3/4 thick (guy that build it went overkill, but i dont mind). I was wondering what a good Magnet would be? wanted to use the flipper as it has a scraper build in, but it says max 1/2 inch glass.

Hammerhead or vertex are the only 2 I can think of

There's no comparison between the Vetrex Hex and the Hammerhead. Go with the Hammerhead. I have both

Okay well since I'm away on work I'm getting my gf to measure it cuz I feel like it's 3/4 hope it's only 1/2

So my glass is only half inch, is the vertex one better or the hammerhead?

I used a cheap mag float on my 3/4" tank without issue. It would let go if you went too fast but I kept my glass clean just fine. More passes with less pressure... and cheap did i mention that?

I have no experience with the Vertex, been using the hammerhead for years. I like that the hammerhead comes with an extra pad and easily velcros on and off. I've owned my hammerhead for 3 years and just replaced the pad with the spare that it came with, recently.
