I got a tiger shark. Its really nice. Cleans well. Still have to scrap coraline but if I clean it every 3-4 days I dont get to much coraline.

i have a pirhana... works good, but doesnt do much for coraline...
I did a razor scraper mod, with a kit from BRS ... FANTASTIC! ... cuts an hours work down to 5 mins...(on glass)
I do have a great white mag float i need to part with, but you need some pretty thick acrylic to use it on....

They have this new Intelli-Magnet that you put on the aquarium glass that you want to clean. After attaching it to both sides, you find your place on a comfortable couch, grab the remote control and favorite beverage. By simply pointing this remote control you aim it at the magnet and it begins to sweep left to right and continues from the top of the tank to the bottom. It automatically shuts off after it hits the last spot on the bottom.

They are a little pricey, but here is the link:

I use a tiger shark on my 3/4'' acrylic, it does a great job on all but the coralline. They also have replaceable dry and wet side components, so they will last a long time too.

I used to have a great white, and I couldnt hardly move it on my 5/8 acrylic. Make sure you buy the proper size.
