Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Flipper cleaners different?
Flipper cleaners use a patented 2-in-1 flip design that lets you switch between a soft cleaning pad and a stainless steel algae scraping blade with a simple flip, all without putting your hands in the water. This makes routine aquarium maintenance faster, cleaner, and more convenient.
Are Flipper cleaners safe for glass aquariums?
Yes. Flipper magnetic cleaners are designed to be safe and effective on glass aquariums. Be sure to choose the model rated for your glass thickness, and keep the cleaning pad free of substrate to avoid scratching the glass.
Can Flipper cleaners remove tough algae?
Yes. The stainless steel scraping blade is effective against stubborn algae, biofilm, and buildup, including green spot algae and other hard-to-remove growth, while the cleaning pad handles lighter film algae and routine cleaning.
Which Flipper cleaner is right for my tank size?
The Flipper Nano Float is ideal for nano and desktop aquariums with thinner glass, while larger Flipper Float models are designed for bigger tanks with thicker glass. Always match the cleaner to your aquarium’s glass thickness for the best fit and performance.
