"Worth its weight in gold!"

Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. When this one wears out, I will replace it with the same brand. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. 5 inch wide razor blade to scrub algae off of the tank.

"I don't use it."

I could even clean the back glass by reaching over the top of the tank. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it. If they had an extension that'd be nice. There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants. Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made. The magnet is stronger and best of all it finally floats to the surface. The Gravel rake make it so much easier aswell to level out the rock.

"Love this!"

Hope this review helps a few hobbyists out there. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet. I've been recommending it to all my friends with aquariums. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. This is my second purchase of this scraper. The net of this set is a little small for my uses. It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more.

"Long reach."

This is a good deal and perfect all in one package for cleaning aquariums. The long handle made it very easy to get everywhere. Use them both every day and have zero problems with it. This kit is great if you have pretty deep aquarium or shorter arms. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. This aquarium scraper is so much better than the old one.

"I couldn't resist."

Or my white bubbler across the back of my tank without this scraper. If they had an extension that'd be nice. The only thing i wish was different is that the net was bigger. I'm glad I purchase it as it also comes with a net. I'm glad I purchase it as it also comes with a net. Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank.

"Such an awesome set."

If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. I would not have an aquarium without this. Hope this review helps a few hobbyists out there. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. My husband has even tried to remove it. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it.

"Does its job."

This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. I've been recommending it to all my friends with aquariums. This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank. There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants. And 23 inches roughly when its fully retracted. It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable. Add in a gravel vac and you'd basically have a complete cleaning kit.

It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable. And I don't often say things like that. The sand cleaner accessory is cool, because it helps with routine cleanup. This is my second purchase of this scraper. I have a redsea 170 that is only about 35 gallons. My smaller aquarium has a back aside that the brush can easily clean. This scraper is a life saver for me.

"Not so with these!"

I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. Keeps my aquarium looking crystal clean. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. This mini magnet cleaner is really a great deal. Dont have to get wet, its very long, about 33 inches at maximum extension. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set.

Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! I don't have that worry with this scraper. It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze. Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using.

If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. 5 and a medium sized one for my 100 gallon reef tank. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. Keeps my aquarium looking crystal clean. If you think this review was helpful, please don't forget to vote.

"Best algae scraper ever!"

I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze.

I hand no issues with it scratching the glass. I would not have an aquarium without this. 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. I used a scrubber with little result. You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed. Just a great set of tools for the price.

"I would buy this again."

I bought this based on reviews and sure enough it took care of the algae with ease. The only thing i wish was different is that the net was bigger. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. It's an aquascape aquarium by the way. I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. I bought this size algae scrubber because I have a 13. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though.
