"Worth its weight in gold!"

It's also significantly larger so cleaning takes less time. I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. It literally took me 5 mins to scrape my 55 gal. It's also significantly larger so cleaning takes less time. And 23 inches roughly when its fully retracted. I like that the length is adjustable, too.

  • Jasonwell Magnetic Aquarium Fish Tank Glass Algae Glass Cleaner Scrubber Floating Clean Brush
  • Clean algae and scum off of the inside of your aquarium the easy, fun way!
  • Strong magnetic forces cause the inside cleaning brush to follow the outside handle. Just wipe the outside, and the inside is cleaned!
  • The inside piece floats, so if it becomes separated from the outside piece, it's easy to retrieve.
  • Simply drag the no-scratch, felt-lined handle and inside your aquarium, the scrubber follows, cleaning as it goes
  • Important: Made for common glass fish tank, not for acrylic and low iron glass. Please choose the size by the thickness of your fish tank glass. The larger, the stronger the magnet.

Jasonwell Final Thoughts

"Works great."

If you are too close to the top water will splash. I have used the scrapper and it removed the algae from my tank's glass very easily. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set. There are multiple attachments which gives options on what to clean with. The long handle made it very easy to get everywhere. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set.

"It will last much longer."

But this simple tool does the job with no chemicals. For stubborn spots, you may need to scrub a bit harder. And i love that the handle is so long, I have a very deep tank. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks. The first one lasted for several years. Don't bother with the other brands. I have used it a lot and really like it.

Coralife 15637 First Impressions

"Good value for the money."

I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is. The only issue is there is no blade cover provided for storage. If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. This work well at cleaning the glass and is a great price. If they had an extension that'd be nice. I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank.

Coralife 15637 Final Thoughts

"Works great!"

I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. Great product and worth every penny. My husband has even tried to remove it. It is very easy to swap the heads with very convenient locking system. I know alot of people feel this is junk. Due to the tank being built in, it's very difficult to clean from the back.

"Recommended, good buy."

Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made. Extremely happy I made the purchase. Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. 5 and a medium sized one for my 100 gallon reef tank. The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price.

"For me that is a risk."

This tool was perfect for cleaning everything up. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. Add in a gravel vac and you'd basically have a complete cleaning kit. Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! That I haven't seen in any other tool set. One or two passes and glass was spotless. Keeps my aquarium looking crystal clean.

If you think this review was helpful, please don't forget to vote. I'm glad I purchase it as it also comes with a net.

"5 gallon Betta aquarium."

It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks. It is very handy for keeping my 30-gal freshwater aquarium clean. I would have gone to the next size up to get the extra pressure on the inside glass. It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable. This aquarium scraper is so much better than the old one. Great product and worth every penny. I have 2 of these a Nano flipper for my EVO 13.

"Lots of spare blades."

It is way overkill for that small tank but I get the job done very quick. The rake came in handy to smooth the gravel after the gravel cleaning. I have used the scrapper and it removed the algae from my tank's glass very easily. Don't bother with the other brands. The net of this set is a little small for my uses. But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it. I bought this based on reviews and sure enough it took care of the algae with ease.

"My back thanks you."

The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. If you are too close to the top water will splash. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. It is way overkill for that small tank but I get the job done very quick.

Extremely happy I made the purchase. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. The only issue is there is no blade cover provided for storage. This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank. Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks. You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed.
