The Care Magnet is a glass pane cleaner which offers an ergonomic handle, and special plastic blades made of wear-resistant high performance plastic. It is significantly more compact than conventional algae magnets with a large cleaning surface, which blends into its surroundings unobtrusively, therefore enabling it to remain within the aquarium without disrupting the overall scenery. Scratches on the aquarium glass pane can be avoided by using this glass pane cleaner. With its small plastic blade it can even be used on acrylic glass panes to a certain degree. The inner magnet is more than 3mm away from the aquarium glass pane, and thus prevents a jamming of the aquarium sand. Be careful when using partially magnetic sand (Hawaiian Black)! 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.
If the Care Magnet 0220.015, 0220.020 or 0220.025 is used on aquarium glass panes with particularly tough algae, e.g. older deposits on the side walls or thick calcareous algae, the large blade can be expanded with the included special stainless steel blade.
For panes with a glass thickness from 6 mm (1/4") to max. 10 mm (3/8"). Width 45 mm (1.77 in.), length 78 mm (3 in.). Including a replacement plastic blade.
Collapsible content
LIGHT
LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.
MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height.
HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.
FLOW
LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.
MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.
HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.
SKILL
ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.
While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
