I can’t find them** A: I am sorry to tell you. but you will find them hard to get as we discontinued the replacement pads in the past six months (timing varied by the pad). The rationale was very few people ever replaced the pads which caused retailers to stop carrying them which of course led to us discontinuing when we ran out. **Q: Does this work okay with a bowfront tank? I don't know if the curve of the glass would throw the magnet off or another detriment I am not foreseeing** A: I am using a small magnet on a 70 gallon glass bow front. I didn't think it would work, but after a little while the pad adjusted to the curve. Use short strokes and it works great! **Q: Replacement pad?** A: You have to check with amazon or just by a new one **Q: The instructions mentions a black cleaning pad for glass, but my package only came with the blue one? Is that normal?** A: It should have came with 2 pads mine did ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good value *by S***H on 26 April 2026* Work well on my acrylic tank Good size ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Algae glass scraper *by C***N on 17 April 2026* It does what it's meant to I'm happy with the quality and ease of use ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good strong magnet *by M***Y on 5 February 2020* Bought the medium version which is ideal for 10mm glass. Cleans the glass well and, so far, it hasn't become detached from the outside magnet. It's quite hard work though! The only problem, which is minor, is that the inside magnet tends to vibrate or oscillate as it travels, unless you move extremely slowly. This sets up small pressure waves through the water, enough to make the heater elements wobble when you're in the vicinity, and it freaks the fish out a bit, but only while it's going on. Overall, though, I'm very pleased with it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Aqueon Aquarium Algae Cleaning Magnets Glass/Acrylic, Small, Black - Tetra Water Cleaner Gravel Siphon for Aquariums, Easily Clean Freshwater Aquariums - PAIZOO Fish Tank Digital Thermometer Accurate LED Display to ±0.9°F Tank Thermometer Aquarium Temperature Measurement Suitable for Fish, Axolotl, Turtle or Aquatic --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/197614593-aqueon-aquarium-algae-cleaning-magnet-small](https://www.desertcart.us/products/197614593-aqueon-aquarium-algae-cleaning-magnet-small) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
