When to choose it

Choose this small model if you want to work from outside a panel within Aqueon's quarter-inch thickness recommendation. Select the pad that matches the wall before installing the inside piece. Compare panel thickness even if the tank capacity is within the range on the box.

The inside piece is weighted, so plan to retrieve it from below if it separates. Aqueon uses a bowed base to keep the pad above the gravel when the magnet rests. Check clearance at the bottom if decorations make that spot hard to reach.

Questions about this product

Can I leave the same pad on when I move from glass to acrylic?

Change to the pad identified for acrylic. The kit supplies a separate pad for each material.

Will the inside part float if it detaches?

The weighted scrubber is designed to drop. Check that you can reach it at the bottom.

Does a small tank automatically fit the small model?

Measure the actual panel. Aqueon lists a quarter-inch thickness recommendation for this variant.
