    Yes I got it at Wal-mart 9.98 for the scrubber and 9.98 for the 4 brush kit-no shipping--same one in the picture. Used it for about an hour on my rocks--completely waterproof--a little noisy, the fish werent real fond of it at first, but then it did not seem to bother them. I was very impressed. I found it by the Armor All in the automotive section.

    Ordered mine a couple days ago, with the brush kit. Wish I knew they had it at wal-mart, I could have saved money because you know, since there was shipping and handling I had to buy something else to make it worth it!

    I'm not sure how this works better than a Mag Float? Does the "sonic action" make it easier to clean off coralline or something? And why are so many people scrubbing their rocks? :lol:

    It breaks up the coralline.

    I guess lots of rocks have that "not so fresh feeling"

    and needs a bit of a sonic tingle.

    :lol: So, the coralline comes off easier than it would with a Mag Float or a razor blade? I wonder how much longer it would take to scrub it off with that little brush than it would with a good sized Mag Float. I hate getting my hands wet so I need to know these things :D

    I was scrubbing my rocks cause I am at the end of a hair algae battle--I was scrubbing all the dead stuff off--I guess I should have clarified that--worked great though--as far as the coraline spots on the glass--it did break them up, but did not completely remove it. works good in the corners

    When i had a bad turf algae on my rocks I was using this to scrub it off. I don't use it on my rocks now that it is gone, but It works great for cleaning PH and getting coralline of pumps and such.
