Product information

Easy to use
Separate the swimming internal element from the external element and lay it on the water at the edge of the aquarium tank. Hold external element close to the aquarium pane to attract the swimming part. Move the magnet from the outside with light circular movements over the aquarium pane surface.

Convenient
Easy to guide over corners or curves without needing to reach into the water.

Protects the aquarium
The edges of the inner part are "blunt" so that no damage to the silicone seams can occur when the magnet touches the silicone joints of the aquarium. The swimming internal element cannot fall into the gravel and cause trapped gravel stones to scratch the pane. There is no longer any need to “fish around” in the aquarium if the inner part becomes detached from the magnet.

FAQ
Are the algae magnets also suitable for curved aquarium panes?

With curved panes, an algae magnet, such as the JBL FLOATY, cannot fully lie on the surface to clean the soiled areas effectively and powerfully. Only the edges of the FLOATY rest on the curved sections, making cleaning more difficult. Instead, we recommend using a cleaning glove (PROSCAPE CLEANING GLOVE), a blade cleaner (Aqua T-Handy) or the the glass pane cleaner (Blanki or WishWash).

Why does my JBL Floaty / algae magnet scratch the aquarium pane?

Scratched panes after using a glass cleaning magnet are always a sign of sand or gravel particles being caught between the inner parts of the magnet and the aquarium pane. The materials used for the JBL glass cleaning magnet are softer than the glass of the aquarium pane and cannot scratch it.

Video: JBL Floaty floating glass pane cleaner with magnet for clean panes

This aquarium glass pane cleaner is designed so that one part cleans the pane inside the aquarium while you move its magnetically connected outer part on the outer pane. Should the inner part lose contact, it floats to the water surface and you can simply use the magnetic outer part to re-engage it.

süßer kleiner Scheibenmagnet, der mehr schafft als man denkt! Reinigt gründlich auch Stellen, die man mit großen Magneten o.ä. nicht erreicht.

Ich liebe den floaty!

Mega klein, perfekt für meine Nanobecken! Reinigt gründlich und wenn er mal abfällt, treibt er oben und man muss ihn nicht aus dem Becken pulen.

Liebe den Zwerg!

Klappt super, habe ich in mehreren Nanos! Lediglich die Farbe finde ich ungünstig, schwarz wäre mir deutlich lieber.

PUSH messages from JBL

What are PUSH messages? As part of the W3C standard, web notifications define an API for end-user notifications that are sent to the user's desktop and/or mobile devices via the browser. Notifications appear on the end devices as they are familiar to the end user from apps installed on the device (e.g. emails). Notifications appear on the end user’s device, just like an app (e.g. for emails) installed on the device.

These notifications enable a website operator to contact its users whenever they have a browser open - it doesn’t matter whether the user is currently visiting the website or not.

To be able to send web push notifications, all you need is a website with a web push code installed. This allows brands without apps to take advantage of many of the benefits of push notifications (personalised real-time communications at just the right moment).

Web notifications are part of the W3C standard and define an API for end user notifications. A notification makes it possible to inform the user about an event, such as a new blog post, outside the context of a website.
