I leave mie in the tank 24/7 and use it for the green stuff that builds up every day. Use a razor blade for the tough stuff.

Mag Float's probably greatly improved over years.
I honestly cannot get mine to "part" if stuck together evenly.
- am still very reluctant to use right along sand bed - am too worried about catching up a grain of sand and scratching tank. So I leave that little bit for the snails, or hand scrape if it gets out of hand (which it rarely does).
Whatever kind, get the strongest "pull" possible, esp. if you have thick glass.
