Try Amazon.

Try Amazon.

I'm going to look everywhere. I looked at Petsmart first because there is one 20 mins away.

why can't you stick a piece you cut to size on the unit???

You could buy a non brand name one for $5 on aliexpress.

You better buy two lol to get free shipping.

You could buy two and then sell one on ebay for $20.

Or buy a different item from the same seller.

Tariffs will bump the price up to $40
I think I'm just going to go to Hobby Lobby and buy $.75 worth of felt.

just buy some felt and glue it onto the old one.

I fixed some worn out ones with crazy glue and scrubber pads. They lasted about five years before I had to do it again.

I can also get the inexpensive Chinese ones since there are no tariffs on those things here. For $40, I'd expect them to scrape algae, sing, collect and incubate Cory eggs and eliminate pond snails.

To find what you need for sale, do a google for "Mag Float Pad Replacements."

You may need to get mineral spirits to get the old ones unstuck from the pieces. Make sure you get the replacements for the glass and not for the acrylic scraper.

I use a stainless steel rectangular finishing trowel with a non-abrasive 3M scrubbing pad glued on to it. Takes less than 10 minutes to clean all the glass on my 9' aquarium during water changes.
