Finally got around to ordering a glass cleaner last week, 4 days later from the US it arrived.

Never used one before but sick of having to lower the water and scrub the glass with a tooth brush.

Fingers crossed it does the trick

Yep best mag I ever used. Even use it in my 4*2*2. Foot african tank. Takes a bit longer but it works well.

My only gripe about them is the small size.

It takes ages cleaning the tank.

Wish they made a larger size.

What is so different about them as opposed to others that make them so good?

The cleaning pad on the inside of the tank is like 1mm thin. Which is great for cleaning behind tank ornaments, heaters, intake or outflow tubes.

<edit> forgot to add that the cleaning pad is flexible and can go around rounded corners/edges, so cleaning rounded corners like on an AquaOne tank is a breeze. 

It's also made of some foam material, that floats if it is dislodged from the external magnet.

 

Traditional chunky sized magnet cleaners just get blocked by most things in the tank.

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
