Okay I saw this on here awhile back and it looks like a magfloat but has 3 razor blades set inside at a angle. the outside if iam remember was wood grain looking

I hope some one remembers because this would be a great mag scraper

algae free is the one with the wood grain. you would buy the algae free scraper that gets glued the the magnet.

I'm not sure about 3 razor blades or wood grain, but this one is great. And as said above, it is an attachment that needs to be glued to the magnetic scrapper.

I started a thread like this about a month ago asking the same thing... tunze vs. mag-float vs. magnavore vs. reef-free.

In the end, I went around and did a hands-on of a few of them, and the reef-free was the hands-down winner. Tunze was #2, but w/o the floating feature, it just lost out for me. Sure, you could glue on a piece of foam... but why? The algae free was the strongest as well, and if you go directly through their site, www.algaefree.com , you can have the easy blade put on it as well for you.... perhaps the best blade I have used... wide, and scrapes even the hardest algae like nothing. Sorry if it sounds like a promo, but to me its the hands-down winner. The $69 you pay for the hammerhead would be well spent... add on $15 for the ez-blade and $5 for more blades, and you are set. It makes it sooo easy to clean now.
