"You missed a spot!"

This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. Use them both every day and have zero problems with it. It's also significantly larger so cleaning takes less time. And I don't often say things like that. I would not have an aquarium without this. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod.

HOTOOLME Final Thoughts

"Very easy to use."

That I haven't seen in any other tool set. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl. This aquarium scraper is so much better than the old one. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. Overall this was a very good purchase and good investment. Great product and worth every penny. I know alot of people feel this is junk.

"Very pleased."

If you think this review was helpful, please don't forget to vote. I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. My husband has even tried to remove it. This scraper is for an acrylic aquarium. I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF.

"Great product."

The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky. This cleaning tool set has been working wonderfully. For stubborn spots, you may need to scrub a bit harder. I have a 5-gallon fish tank with my beta in it. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl. If you wait months, it gets so thick and tough, it's very hard to remove. Add in a gravel vac and you'd basically have a complete cleaning kit.

"Over all very good."

This set really save me lots of time when I clean my aquarium. Use them both every day and have zero problems with it. I would not have an aquarium without this. I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite. How can a pandemic cause algae you ask. 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.

I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. Add in a gravel vac and you'd basically have a complete cleaning kit.

So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. It is very handy for keeping my 30-gal freshwater aquarium clean. I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. Just a great set of tools for the price. It is way overkill for that small tank but I get the job done very quick. Possibly a plastic case for storage around this wet environment. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass.
