I have found that magnetic scrapers, especially if left in the tank only accumulate deposits under them which are just waiting to scratch your tank, especially acrylic on the first drag, you wont even notice until you are about 6"'s of scratch away from your start position. If you are to buy one keep it out of the tank every time until you use it. I just use a plastic scraper from Kent Marine (black handle variable length, red plastic scraper insert) and very fine scrubbing pad. Works great
