"Worth EVERY penny!"

The real bonus is it actually works. It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more. The net of this set is a little small for my uses. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. It is quite sturdy and made of stainless steel so it should last a long time. Small and inconspicuous in the tank.

AQUANEAT CS-A864 Final Thoughts

"Lots of spare blades."

I have bigger fish and the net is for smaller. A little more tomorrow and the next day and almost all the algae will be gone. I bought this tool to help maintain my aquarium. One or two passes and glass was spotless. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. This tool has enough reach and is plenty strong enough. 5 inch wide razor blade to scrub algae off of the tank.

"Just amazing!"

If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. I've used this tool a couple of times now cleaning the glass on my 125gal tank. The Gravel rake make it so much easier aswell to level out the rock. Guess how I learned that mistake lol. So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. I could even clean the back glass by reaching over the top of the tank. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet.

AQUANEAT CS-A320 Final Thoughts

"It is small and compact."

The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze. The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price. You don't need a lot of force, just patience. One or two passes and glass was spotless. If they had an extension that'd be nice. If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet.

"It will last much longer."

Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. The hole in some attachments must be a little bigger on some than others. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set. I have used it a lot and really like it. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. I like that the length is adjustable, too.

"A must-have."

This kit is great if you have pretty deep aquarium or shorter arms. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. I have a fairly deep sand bed in my 90 gallon reef tank. This tool was perfect for cleaning everything up. Overall this was a very good purchase and good investment. It's an easy to use pad that removed algae fairly easily from the acrylic.

"It doesn't float."

Like the old kids toy dinosaur head that closes mouth by squeezing. I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. That I haven't seen in any other tool set. Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. If they had an extension that'd be nice. I've been recommending it to all my friends with aquariums. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it.

"This works great."

But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. There are multiple attachments which gives options on what to clean with. I ordered different replacement blades to use instead. This is my second purchase of this scraper. Don't bother with the other brands. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks.

"Perfect for nano tank!"

Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. I know alot of people feel this is junk. Possibly a plastic case for storage around this wet environment. If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. I have 2 of these a Nano flipper for my EVO 13. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl.

"This works great."

I bought this size algae scrubber because I have a 13. It's also significantly larger so cleaning takes less time. I have a fairly deep sand bed in my 90 gallon reef tank. And 23 inches roughly when its fully retracted. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made.

Kattool Final Thoughts

"Very easy to use."

It is way overkill for that small tank but I get the job done very quick. The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. This set comes with acouple different cleaning tools. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. 5 and a medium sized one for my 100 gallon reef tank.

It needs the extra support of the thicker pole. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it. 5 inch wide razor blade to scrub algae off of the tank.
