Care & Maintenance Instructions
Rinse the internal magnet felt/pad with fresh tap water periodically to remove trapped algae, biofilm, and mineral particles.
Ensure no sand or aquasoil grains get trapped between the magnet pad and the glass panel to prevent accidental glass scratching.
Store the magnet halves separated or with the protective separator block in place to prevent pinched fingers from N52 magnetic attraction.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use the Chihiros Magnet Cleaner on an acrylic aquarium?
No. This magnetic cleaner is designed strictly for glass aquariums ONLY. Using high-powered N52 magnets on acrylic panels will scratch or scuff the acrylic surface. For acrylic tanks, use soft felt pads or plastic blade scrapers.
2. How do I avoid scratching my glass when using a magnetic cleaner near the substrate?
Always keep the magnet at least 1 inch above your aquasoil or sand bed. If a grain of sand gets caught under the felt pad, slide the magnet straight off the glass, rinse the pad thoroughly, and re-attach it above the substrate line.
3. Which size should I choose for my tank (Mini vs. Nano)?
The Mini (1.1″ round) is ideal for tiny nano tanks and ultra-tight corners around hardscape. The Nano (1.57″ × 0.79″ rectangular) provides broader surface coverage for standard desktop and rimless glass displays up to 8mm thick.
