"For the price—Awesome."

My aquarium recently had a bad algae outbreak. 5 gallon fluval EVO tank running a saltwater set up. This set works great for the portrait marine land 5+ gallon kit glass tank. I have a redsea 170 that is only about 35 gallons. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. The first one lasted for several years. The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze.

JRing Final Thoughts

"It is The One!"

This tool has enough reach and is plenty strong enough. Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank. So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. That piece makes getting the side walls a bit harder. This kit is great if you have pretty deep aquarium or shorter arms. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty.

"I got the small."

It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! I've used this tool a couple of times now cleaning the glass on my 125gal tank. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. It literally took me 5 mins to scrape my 55 gal. I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is.

  • Sungrow Aquarium Glass scrubber, Long Handheld Tool Reduces Scrubbing Time to Half, Keep Hands Dry, Removes Thickest Residue, Frequent Tank Maintenance
  • ✔ REMOVES EVEN THE MOST STUBBORN SPOTS --- The unique design of this fish tank scrubber will remove all the dirt and debris. Even if you have been neglecting to clear the kelp, this metal scrubber will give your tank a fast makeover, leaving it clear.
  • ✔ STAINLESS STEEL HEAVY-DUTY CONSTRUCTION --- The glass surface scrubber is made out of stainless steel. Use this dirt remover for years to come. To protect your fingers from any untoward incident, it comes with a plastic cover. The best part is that it breaks down for easy storing. This is a very good alternative than magnetic scrubbers and scouring pads.
  • ✔ TWO BONUS HANDLES INCLUDED FOR EXTRA LENGTH --- Easily screw on the two additional pieces to lengthen the handle, at maximum length, it measures 25.5 inches. This handle will save your entire arm from getting wet next time you clear the mess from your tank. The extended arm makes scrubbing any deep tank easy. So make your life easier and say GOODBYE to standing on a chair or ladder and scrubbing the tank for hours.
  • ✔ SUITABLE ONLY FOR GLASS AQUARIUMS --- Simply remove all the unwanted dirt, leaving the glass pristine. Just hold it firm and go slow. Do not use our product on the acrylic tank as the scraper might scratch it.

"This works great."

Due to the tank being built in, it's very difficult to clean from the back. I like that the length is adjustable, too. This cleaning tool set has been working wonderfully. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. Great product and worth every penny. I bought this based on reviews and sure enough it took care of the algae with ease. Best aquarium cleaner if you ask me.

VONKY Final Thoughts

"A must-have."

I like that the length is adjustable, too. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. I hand no issues with it scratching the glass. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. It needs the extra support of the thicker pole. The first one lasted for several years. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned.

"My back thanks you."

Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. The angled head of this thing makes all the difference. Overall this was a very good purchase and good investment. The only issue is there is no blade cover provided for storage. A little more tomorrow and the next day and almost all the algae will be gone. There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants. Everything is easy to put together and use.

"This works great."

5 and a medium sized one for my 100 gallon reef tank. When this one wears out, I will replace it with the same brand. The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price. This is my second purchase of this scraper. Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. Like the old kids toy dinosaur head that closes mouth by squeezing.

This scraper is for an acrylic aquarium. For stubborn spots, you may need to scrub a bit harder. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! Like the old kids toy dinosaur head that closes mouth by squeezing. But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it. One or two passes and glass was spotless. It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks.

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.

"You missed a spot!"

I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. 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. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. So much better than any other ways I have tried. Guess how I learned that mistake lol. I bought this tool to help maintain my aquarium.
