Magnet Cleaner

[skipm]

I just wanted to share that I got a Super Nimble magnet cleaner for my Nanocubes in todays mail and this thing rocks. It is extremely streamlined so it fits in every corner of my nanos. I was even able to remove a couple of spots of coralline (I had to make repeated passes) off of the glass. I am sure alot of you have heard of them before but I am so impressed with this little cleaner I just wanted to share. They can be seen at www.nimblenano.com . I hope someone finds this info useful.

That is great to hear. I have seriously considered purchaseing one for both my 16 bow and my dads 46 gal planted. So you would say that they are worth the price? (tad bit pricey)

Thanks for the info skip I am now looking in to getting 2 of them

I hear you Sadie, I am tempted to get a regular Nimble for my 6 gallon nanocube just to try it out.
Reefman, I would definately recommend one for the 16 BF but I am not sure if the thicker glass on the 46 would be too thick for it. Contact Jerome at the above website and ask him. I read someplace that he is in the process of designing another Nimble for larger tanks but I have no idea where he stands in the designing process. HTH, SKip

Are these good for acrylic?

I would not think so tey use a velcro hook for the "cleaning" part that will scratch the heck out of it you could modify it by using a self adhesive felt pad for it . But in my opinion most anything will scratch acrylic :sad:

 

[reefman23]

he has some acrylic-safe models I believe. I have heard of people using these on acrylic with no problems.

seems like a cool deal. Will the Nimble super magnet be good for the 6 gallon or is it more recommended with the regular nano nimble?

DJ He does offer an acrylic model in witch he uses something else for the inner scrub pad.
Steven He recommended the Super for a regular nanocube but it is small enough that I will use it on both tanks, I may get a regular later just so I can leave it in the tank. That way I won't have to worry about cross contamination between tanks.
