Stupid ?, any harm in leaving cleaning magnets on glass?

[JamesR]

I was wondering if there can be any ill effects if you leave your cleaning magnets (magna float in my case) on the glass. Since I clean it every day, it's easier that way but don't want to have any issues.

Sorry, kind of a dumb ?,

Not a dumb question and no harm at all. However, it may decrease the life of your cleaner by eating away at the adhesive.

Thanks Lando, good point about the adhesive (I haden't thought of that).

I keep mine on the glass but move it to the back. It may look tempting if you have children in the house.

Definitely tempting to little hands. I keep mine in the back of the tank too when I don't take it out.

yah. ive left mine in the tank. i put it to the back of the tank not to keep out of reach, just more of an eye sore.

I move it behind a PH.

mine has been in the tank now for.... 1-1/2 years? no problems with the adhesive... but it looks more like a purple square piece of LR than a magnet... still does it's job just fine!

its not a good idea to get sand or gravel trapped within the grasp of the magnet and then clean the tank. It WILL create scratches. Just a friendly warning!


Thats pretty logical dont you think?
