It suits freshwater, marine and reef aquariums, and comes in two sizes — Standard for glass 9–15mm thick and Grande for heavier 19–25mm panels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost magnet cleaners lose their bite within weeks. Coralline algae blunts the edge, the blade flexes, and you end up pressing harder against the glass. The Refine tackles both problems at once — a rigid blade that stays flat, and an on-board sharpening stone that keeps the edge keen for the life of the tool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in whetstone\u003c\/strong\u003e — housed in the handle, it hones the stainless blade as you use it, so there is no dull-edge decline and no separate sharpening gear to buy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e0.8mm 316L stainless steel blade\u003c\/strong\u003e — marine-grade and deliberately thick, so it resists flexing and holds its flatness far longer than the thin, bendy blades fitted to most cleaners.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eN52 neodymium magnets\u003c\/strong\u003e — the strongest commercially available grade, giving a confident hold that doesn't slip mid-stroke on thick glass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZero-friction gliding feet\u003c\/strong\u003e — the outer side rolls over the glass instead of dragging, cutting the effort and the wrist strain on a full-length scrub of a big tank.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eErgonomic profile\u003c\/strong\u003e — a slim, matte-finish body that sits properly in the hand rather than forcing a claw grip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChoosing Your Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefine Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e — recommended for glass ⅜\"–⅝\" (9–15mm).

Place the inner half against the glass below the waterline, bring the outer half up to meet it, then work in slow overlapping passes from the top down. Lift the inner half away from the glass before removing it so grit isn't dragged across the pane, and rinse both halves in fresh water afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNever fit the metal blade to an acrylic aquarium — it will scratch.

Standard is rated for 9–15mm glass and Grande for 19–25mm. If your panel measures around 15–19mm, size up to the Grande for a secure hold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use the Refine on an acrylic aquarium?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, but you must fit the supplied ABS plastic blade and take the gliding feet off first. The stainless blade and the feet are for glass only and will mark acrylic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for a reef tank?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is. The blade is 316L marine-grade stainless steel, chosen specifically to resist saltwater corrosion, and the Refine is used on both reef and freshwater systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the whetstone really keep the blade sharp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the stone is built into the handle and hones the stainless edge during normal use, so the blade keeps cutting through coralline and hard algae instead of skidding over it. ABS blades don't sharpen and are simply swapped out when worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it scratch my glass?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot in normal use. The vast majority of scratches come from a sand grain caught under the blade or the feet, so keep the scraper clear of the substrate and rinse it before each session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I buy replacement blades separately?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Replacement stainless steel and ABS blades are available for both Standard and Grande sizes, so the scraper body is a long-term purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo you deliver in South Africa?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — Jungle Aquatics ships the Maxspect Refine nationwide across South Africa, with prices in ZAR and no import hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RSK REEF","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":49212632596788,"sku":"6971764812717","price":1075.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grande","offer_id":49212632629556,"sku":"6971764812748","price":2115.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0151\/9016\/3510\/files\/Maxspect-Standard-Scraper.png?v=1784974574","url":"https:\/\/jungleaquatics.com\/products\/maxspect-refine-aquarium-scraper","provider":"Jungle Aquatics Pet Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
