Fdit First Impressions

"Wait for it."

If you are too close to the top water will splash. 5 and a medium sized one for my 100 gallon reef tank. I hand no issues with it scratching the glass. There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants. How can a pandemic cause algae you ask. Like the old kids toy dinosaur head that closes mouth by squeezing. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet.

Fdit Final Thoughts

"No scrub, scrub, scrub."

5 gallon fluval EVO tank running a saltwater set up. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though. There are multiple attachments which gives options on what to clean with. If they had an extension that'd be nice. I've been recommending it to all my friends with aquariums. But this simple tool does the job with no chemicals.

"Works perfectly."

The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze. I ordered different replacement blades to use instead. I don't have that worry with this scraper. It's an easy to use pad that removed algae fairly easily from the acrylic. Since I knew this I am happy with it. If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. This scraper is for an acrylic aquarium.

"Incredible!"

The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky. Small and inconspicuous in the tank. 5 gallon fluval EVO tank running a saltwater set up. It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. This aquarium scraper is so much better than the old one. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water.

"Over all very good."

Overall this was a very good purchase and good investment. The only thing i wish was different is that the net was bigger. Since I knew this I am happy with it. I have a 5-gallon fish tank with my beta in it. It is way overkill for that small tank but I get the job done very quick. There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants. This scraper is a life saver for me.

Sheens Final Thoughts

"Waaait for it."

That has an impact on how well this brush works. It needs the extra support of the thicker pole. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. My smaller aquarium has a back aside that the brush can easily clean. The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set. I have a redsea 170 that is only about 35 gallons.

"I'm not using the blade."

This set works great for the portrait marine land 5+ gallon kit glass tank. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. Great product and worth every penny. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. That I haven't seen in any other tool set. And I don't often say things like that. Everything is easy to put together and use.

SWETOR SD-008 First Impressions

"It is The One!"

The hole in some attachments must be a little bigger on some than others. I've used this tool a couple of times now cleaning the glass on my 125gal tank. This mini magnet cleaner is really a great deal. Happy with the set and all the different interchangeable attachments. If they had an extension that'd be nice. I could even clean the back glass by reaching over the top of the tank. I know alot of people feel this is junk.

SWETOR SD-008 Final Thoughts

"Worth EVERY penny!"

I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. This aquarium scraper is so much better than the old one. If you are too close to the top water will splash. That I haven't seen in any other tool set. This kit is great if you have pretty deep aquarium or shorter arms. My aquarium recently had a bad algae outbreak. This is my second purchase of this scraper.

So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. I ordered different replacement blades to use instead.

The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze. I have a 5-gallon fish tank with my beta in it. If you are too close to the top water will splash. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. I have bigger fish and the net is for smaller. Best aquarium cleaner if you ask me. I bought this size algae scrubber because I have a 13.

Marina 11021 Final Thoughts

"Long reach."

Just a great set of tools for the price. I would have gone to the next size up to get the extra pressure on the inside glass. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. When this one wears out, I will replace it with the same brand. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it. Due to the tank being built in, it's very difficult to clean from the back. If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap.
