When to choose it

Choose the medium model when the small magnet's quarter-inch recommendation does not cover the panel. Aqueon's catalog identifies 100106171 for a recommended thickness of three-eighths inch. Choose the appropriate pad for acrylic or glass before comparing the magnet's fit.

The weighted inside piece drops when separated, which changes how you retrieve it compared with a floating cleaner. Look below the intended cleaning route for fixtures that would make retrieval awkward. Aqueon's package identifies the medium model with an M.

Questions about this product

What distinguishes the medium version from the small version?

Aqueon's catalog lists 3/8 inch for the medium and 1/4 inch for the small. Check your pane before choosing.

Can I use the glass pad on acrylic if the magnet fits?

Use the separately supplied acrylic pad. Thickness and contact surface are two independent checks.

What happens if the two halves separate?

Aqueon uses a weighted inner piece that drops instead of floating. Plan how you will retrieve it.
