"Highly recommended."

Use them both every day and have zero problems with it. Everything is easy to put together and use. When this one wears out, I will replace it with the same brand. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more. My smaller aquarium has a back aside that the brush can easily clean.

"My tank is finally clean!"

I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. It is very easy to swap the heads with very convenient locking system. It is very easy to swap the heads with very convenient locking system. Add in a gravel vac and you'd basically have a complete cleaning kit. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. I have used it a lot and really like it. A little more tomorrow and the next day and almost all the algae will be gone.

"Works great."

I have a redsea 170 that is only about 35 gallons. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks. So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. This scraper is for an acrylic aquarium. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet. Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. The only issue is there is no blade cover provided for storage.

"The design is nice."

It's an easy to use pad that removed algae fairly easily from the acrylic. There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants. One or two passes and glass was spotless. It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable. The rake came in handy to smooth the gravel after the gravel cleaning. This is my second purchase of this scraper.

"Cleans algae very well."

This tool has enough reach and is plenty strong enough. Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made. It is quite sturdy and made of stainless steel so it should last a long time. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. This set works great for the portrait marine land 5+ gallon kit glass tank. I bought this based on reviews and sure enough it took care of the algae with ease. Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature!

I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks. Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. It also works well at knocking off buildup from my decorations without removing them. I'm glad I purchase it as it also comes with a net. It needs the extra support of the thicker pole. I could even clean the back glass by reaching over the top of the tank.

KiiKaa First Impressions

"This magnet is AMAZING!"

It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks. If you hate cleaning and scrubbing your tank this thing is for you. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. I don't have that worry with this scraper. That piece makes getting the side walls a bit harder. I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. This set comes with acouple different cleaning tools.

  • KiiKaa Aquarium Glass Cleaner, Magnetic Fish Tank Cleaner Brush with 1 Aquarium Algae Scrapers Floating Strong Magnetic
  • [Ultra-strong magnetic force] Due to its strong adsorption ability and strong magnetic attraction, when you move the outer magnet, the inner magnet will follow and you can easily remove moss from the water tank. It is attractive that you can clean without draining water. Since it is a magnetic cleaner that floats on water, it does not sink to the deepest part of the aquarium.
  • [Floating type cleaner] The brush plate does not sink to the bottom of the water tank. Also gone off any chance magnet, because the type of cleaner to float without sinking, without surprise the creatures in, and to separate float on the surface of the water, easy to pick up, design a more humane, does not dirty or wet hand .
  • [Soft cloth] The surface of the magnetic brush adopts suede, which can protect the glass of the aquarium from scratches, it is softer than the cloth and easy to clean. You can easily remove moss by rubbing back and forth. With a hard brush and strong magnetic force, the slimy moss that sticks to the glass surface is being cleaned more and more.
  • [Anti-slip handle] The handle designed based on ergonomics improves the cleaning action, the grip feels good, and it doesn't slip easily when using. Anti-scratch cleaning pad is very efficient at removing algae and moss from glass.
  • [Caution] *Two magnets strongly attract each other and repel each other, so handle with care not to get your hands caught. *This product uses a strong magnet. If you are using a pacemaker, do not use or approach it near electronic devices. * When installing in a water tank, slowly bring the magnet closer. *If the blade damages the silicon, it may peel off.

"Very pleased."

This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. Don't bother with the other brands. You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed. It's an easy to use pad that removed algae fairly easily from the acrylic. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is.

The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. One or two passes and glass was spotless. I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite. And 23 inches roughly when its fully retracted. Use them both every day and have zero problems with it. I like that the length is adjustable, too. And I don't often say things like that.
