Hey Rob,
This unit has been posted around before but I still don't know anyone that has one.
I wonder how it would travel on glass 15mm+ thick ?
Also , it can only do one side so you would have to move it by hand to do the other sides.

You'd need three...
You'd never run it close to the sand because it will inevitably get sand between the magnet and glass...
I guess by the look of it it'll never really get into the corners well enough.

But if it had a scraper on it that exceeded the width of the drive it could get in the corners. And even into the sand, like the Tunze plastic scrappers..... The ones that can not trap sand. I use one of them and yo can go straight through the sand bed no worries.

That is so cool :) even having to move it to another side, it would make a big difference. I can't get to some of my rear glass wall, because the tank was placed just a tiny bit too near the wall and I can't fit enough of my arm back there. It's a bummer that like everything else in this hobby, it will be expensive with little hope of any price reduction.
