Best Magnetic Algae Scrubber?

[Empyreal]

First off, not sure if this post is in the right category, please let me know if it isn't. Anyways, I have been looking to upgrade to a Magnetic algae scrubber since im lazy and My tank is 2 feet deep and tired of getting my arm soaked scrubbing. Let me know if there a good one you guys recommend. Thank you in advance!

Mag Floats are good, but my Algaefree Tiger Shark is the best. Expensive though....

Algaefree is expensive! Maybe ill try the Mag Float. I just use pool filter sand for substrate, do I need to worry about any of it getting caught in the scrubber and scrubbing scratches into my glass?

Make sure you get a scrubber that is made for your tank material. Do not use an normal scrubber on acrylic, or you will scratch it.

I put 2 big scratches in the middle of my opti-white (starfire) glass with a spec of pfs on the magnet. ALWAYS ALWAYS check before you scrub!

Yes. I've scratched my acrylics a few times. Now I always give it a rinse before I use it.
