"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.

"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.

"Good value for the money."

5 gallon fluval EVO tank running a saltwater set up. A little more tomorrow and the next day and almost all the algae will be gone. And i love that the handle is so long, I have a very deep tank. I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. One or two passes and glass was spotless. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. I would have gone to the next size up to get the extra pressure on the inside glass.

"I would buy again."

It's an aquascape aquarium by the way. This is a good deal and perfect all in one package for cleaning aquariums. So much better than any other ways I have tried. You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed. A little more tomorrow and the next day and almost all the algae will be gone. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though. I have 2 of these a Nano flipper for my EVO 13.

"I have a small 3."

If you are too close to the top water will splash. Just a great set of tools for the price. But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. This set works great for the portrait marine land 5+ gallon kit glass tank.

The only thing i wish was different is that the net was bigger. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks. And I don't often say things like that. But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it. I know alot of people feel this is junk. Great product and worth every penny. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF.

I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made. This set works great for the portrait marine land 5+ gallon kit glass tank. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. I have a 5-gallon fish tank with my beta in it. The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price. I would not have an aquarium without this.

"I got the small."

It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! I've used this tool a couple of times now cleaning the glass on my 125gal tank. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. It literally took me 5 mins to scrape my 55 gal. I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is.

  • ✔ REMOVES EVEN THE MOST STUBBORN SPOTS --- The unique design of this fish tank scrubber will remove all the dirt and debris. Even if you have been neglecting to clear the kelp, this metal scrubber will give your tank a fast makeover, leaving it clear.

To protect your fingers from any untoward incident, it comes with a plastic cover. The best part is that it breaks down for easy storing.

"This works great."

Due to the tank being built in, it's very difficult to clean from the back. I like that the length is adjustable, too. This cleaning tool set has been working wonderfully. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. Great product and worth every penny. I bought this based on reviews and sure enough it took care of the algae with ease. Best aquarium cleaner if you ask me.

Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made. Possibly a plastic case for storage around this wet environment. It's also significantly larger so cleaning takes less time.

There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants.
