"I rarely use this one."

The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. Guess how I learned that mistake lol. One or two passes and glass was spotless. It's also significantly larger so cleaning takes less time. The real bonus is it actually works. Just a great set of tools for the price. Use them both every day and have zero problems with it.

KASAN Final Thoughts

"Just amazing!"

It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. My husband has even tried to remove it. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. 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. Best aquarium cleaner if you ask me. This is my second purchase of this scraper.

"Great price too."

My aquarium recently had a bad algae outbreak. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. Aside from that, I'm happy with the product! Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. I bought this tool to help maintain my aquarium. If they had an extension that'd be nice. It is very handy for keeping my 30-gal freshwater aquarium clean.

"Will buy again!"

I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is. The only thing i wish was different is that the net was bigger. Great product and worth every penny. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. Small and inconspicuous in the tank. There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants. This cleaning tool set has been working wonderfully.

"This magnet is AMAZING!"

So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. Overall this was a very good purchase and good investment. The hole in some attachments must be a little bigger on some than others. Happy with the set and all the different interchangeable attachments. This set really save me lots of time when I clean my aquarium. If you think this review was helpful, please don't forget to vote.

  • ISTA Floating EZ Cleaner 2.3"x1.2" (S) Magnet - Aquarium Fish Tank Algae Glass
  • Having a Floating EZ Cleaner on hand is as essential for aquarium maintenance as keeping a net and bucket near your aquarium. Scrub away algae without ever getting your hands wet, thanks to its clever magnet-on-magnet design. Simply drag the no-scratch, felt-lined handle, and inside your aquarium, the scrubber follows, cleaning as it goes. Better yet, if the magnets separate, the scrubber floats right back to the surface, so you'll never have to dig around on the bottom.

"Recommended!"

I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. My aquarium recently had a bad algae outbreak. So much better than any other ways I have tried. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. The only thing i wish was different is that the net was bigger. This is a nice tool to have is you have an aquarium.

You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed. But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it. And i love that the handle is so long, I have a very deep tank. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank. This scraper is for an acrylic aquarium.

5. Penn Plax Wizard Aquarium Algae Scraper

"Overall a great scraper."

Hope this review helps a few hobbyists out there. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it. For stubborn spots, you may need to scrub a bit harder. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. I have 2 of these a Nano flipper for my EVO 13. I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank.

"I rarely use this one."

The razer blade scraping tool is great as well. I would not have an aquarium without this. I have a redsea 170 that is only about 35 gallons. This kit is great if you have pretty deep aquarium or shorter arms. I'm glad I purchase it as it also comes with a net. The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed.

If they had an extension that'd be nice. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite.

Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! It needs the extra support of the thicker pole. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set.

"Just amazing!"

Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! I don't have that worry with this scraper. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks. How can a pandemic cause algae you ask. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl.

This set really save me lots of time when I clean my aquarium. I have no idea how this would hold up to much larger tanks.

"Overall a great scraper."

5 gallon fluval EVO tank running a saltwater set up. The magnet is stronger and best of all it finally floats to the surface. So much better than any other ways I have tried. I would have gone to the next size up to get the extra pressure on the inside glass. Best aquarium cleaner if you ask me. One or two passes and glass was spotless. The long handle made it very easy to get everywhere.
