magnetic scraper safety?

[noelberg]

Is it safe to just leave it stuck in the tank? I just got into the habit of leaving it on the side out of visibility.

Will this harm the fish at all? Dunno if they're sensitive to magnetic fields ...or if this is bad for the scraper or the glass?

I woudl assume that it would cause too much algae to get stuck onto it and would eventually stop working. Just my opinion. not really sure

It should be fine, I leave mine permanently parked in a corner of each tank

Yeah - I've had my scraper attached to my tank non-stop for about 3 years. It does have a bit of algae on it, and has lately been slightly less effective than normal, but overall has caused no problems at all, and certainly not to the fish!

I figure after a couple months i can clean it off - maybe a dip in some of that algae gone crap i wasted money on.

thanks!
