Hygger - Magnetic Glass Cleaner
Product Overview
If your favorite part of tank maintenance is the part where your hands stay totally dry, this one’s for you. The Hygger Magnetic Glass Cleaner is built with high-strength internal magnets to clamp securely through glass 5mm to 12mm thick (up to 1/2"), delivering even scrubbing pressure across marine and freshwater setups.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Sided Cleaning Pads: Hook-style nylon inner pad scrubs away algae buildup inside the tank while the soft felt outer pad polishes exterior glass, removing fingerprints and water spots simultaneously.
- Automatic Floating Retrieval: The internal brush automatically floats to the water line if decoupled, allowing easy retrieval without reaching into the aquarium.
- Interchangeable Blade System: Includes a snap-on plastic blade for safe, routine glass cleaning and a stainless-steel blade for tough green spot or coralline algae.
- High-Strength Magnetic Grip: Strong internal magnets maintain a firm, continuous clamp through glass up to 12mm thick for smooth, slip-free gliding.
- Anti-Scratch Substrate Protection: Floating design prevents the inner pad from dropping into the bottom sand or aquasoil where abrasive particles can get trapped.

- Inspect the inner pad before each use to ensure no fine sand grains or substrate dust are clinging to the hook bristles.
- Dry the stainless-steel blade thoroughly after marine tank maintenance to prevent rust and extend blade sharpness.
- To separate or lock the magnetic halves safely, rotate 1/4 turn clockwise to open and 1/4 turn counterclockwise to close. Avoid letting the magnetic halves snap directly together to protect fingers and glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the Hygger Magnetic Glass Cleaner safe for acrylic aquariums?
When using the plastic scraper blade or pad alone, exercise caution on acrylic. Stainless steel blades should never be used on acrylic tanks. For acrylic setups, we recommend dedicated acrylic-safe cleaners to avoid microscopic surface scratching.
2. How do I open and close the magnetic cleaner safely?
Due to the powerful magnets, do not snap the halves directly together face-to-face. Rotate the two halves 1/4 turn clockwise to unlock and open them. To store, align and rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise to lock.
3. Which blade should I use for my aquarium setup?
Use the plastic blade for routine soft green algae, delicate glass edges, or everyday maintenance. Switch to the stainless-steel blade when tackling tough green spot algae, stubborn diatom crust, or hard coralline algae in saltwater tanks.
