"Works great."

Extremely happy I made the purchase. I have a fairly deep sand bed in my 90 gallon reef tank. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet. Great product and worth every penny. 5 gallon fluval EVO tank running a saltwater set up. My smaller aquarium has a back aside that the brush can easily clean. Hope this review helps a few hobbyists out there.

The razer blade scraping tool is great as well. This tool was perfect for cleaning everything up. This is my second purchase of this scraper.

"Scarper side is great."

But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. I'm glad I purchase it as it also comes with a net. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks. The sand cleaner accessory is cool, because it helps with routine cleanup. Guess how I learned that mistake lol. This set really save me lots of time when I clean my aquarium.

I like that the length is adjustable, too. If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet.
