I have a similar high end magnet by Magnavore. The big difference is in power (I have to go through 3/4" acrylic) and interchangeable pads. They offer all types of pads.

Worth every penny Julian unless you want to get your hand in there to scrap. Get the blade attachment as well if you have a glass tank.
I am not as fond of the Tunze ones.

Yeah reaching in while the tank is full is pretty much impossible in my 400. The magnets make thing easy and easy is great when it comes to cleaning. Easy means I'll do it.

I do have the mag-float cleaners for my tank. But the pads keep moving and they dont hold very good.

The mag-float will not be strong enough for the thick glass of your tank. I used to have to hand scrap all the tough green algae. If you actual keep up say weekly, the strong magnets will actually take out the tough green algae as well. I occasionally, when I was not as lazy, attached the scraping knife on and can scrape right the edge of the silicon.
Knowing you are a busy contractor, I know you will find it worth the bucks. Business write-off ?

My 400 doesn't get much natural light and I keep my LED's on for a pretty short interval. No algae, just some protein build up over a few weeks.
