"Don't increase the angle."

I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. The rake came in handy to smooth the gravel after the gravel cleaning. I used a scrubber with little result. This work well at cleaning the glass and is a great price.

"Very pleased!"

The real bonus is it actually works. The razer blade scraping tool is great as well. The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky. It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks. This set really save me lots of time when I clean my aquarium. The net of this set is a little small for my uses. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though.

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.

"Such an awesome set."

The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. It's an aquascape aquarium by the way. I have a 5-gallon fish tank with my beta in it. The Gravel rake make it so much easier aswell to level out the rock. That piece makes getting the side walls a bit harder. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. The long handle made it very easy to get everywhere.

"Great value."

Due to the tank being built in, it's very difficult to clean from the back. The long handle made it very easy to get everywhere. If you wait months, it gets so thick and tough, it's very hard to remove. This set really save me lots of time when I clean my aquarium. Add in a gravel vac and you'd basically have a complete cleaning kit. The sand cleaner accessory is cool, because it helps with routine cleanup. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it.

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. It also works well at knocking off buildup from my decorations without removing them. The angled head of this thing makes all the difference. I bought this tool to help maintain my aquarium.

If you hate cleaning and scrubbing your tank this thing is for you. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. Overall this was a very good purchase and good investment. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! Hope this review helps a few hobbyists out there.

"Awesome solution!"

I have a fairly deep sand bed in my 90 gallon reef tank. I bought this based on reviews and sure enough it took care of the algae with ease. I have bigger fish and the net is for smaller. The sand cleaner accessory is cool, because it helps with routine cleanup. I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though. This aquarium scraper is so much better than the old one.

"This magnet is AMAZING!"

It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks. If you hate cleaning and scrubbing your tank this thing is for you. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. I don't have that worry with this scraper. That piece makes getting the side walls a bit harder. I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. This set comes with acouple different cleaning tools.

  • KiiKaa Aquarium Glass Cleaner, Magnetic Fish Tank Cleaner Brush with 1 Aquarium Algae Scrapers Floating Strong Magnetic
  • [Ultra-strong magnetic force] Due to its strong adsorption ability and strong magnetic attraction, when you move the outer magnet, the inner magnet will follow and you can easily remove moss from the water tank. It is attractive that you can clean without draining water. Since it is a magnetic cleaner that floats on water, it does not sink to the deepest part of the aquarium.
  • [Floating type cleaner] The brush plate does not sink to the bottom of the water tank. Also gone off any chance magnet, because the type of cleaner to float without sinking, without surprise the creatures in, and to separate float on the surface of the water, easy to pick up, design a more humane, does not dirty or wet hand .
  • [Soft cloth] The surface of the magnetic brush adopts suede, which can protect the glass of the aquarium from scratches, it is softer than the cloth and easy to clean. You can easily remove moss by rubbing back and forth. With a hard brush and strong magnetic force, the slimy moss that sticks to the glass surface is being cleaned more and more.
  • [Anti-slip handle] The handle designed based on ergonomics improves the cleaning action, the grip feels good, and it doesn't slip easily when using. Anti-scratch cleaning pad is very efficient at removing algae and moss from glass.
  • [Caution] *Two magnets strongly attract each other and repel each other, so handle with care not to get your hands caught. *This product uses a strong magnet. If you are using a pacemaker, do not use or approach it near electronic devices. * When installing in a water tank, slowly bring the magnet closer. *If the blade damages the silicon, it may peel off.

This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. I placed it on the rod and cleaned the corners of my tank. Don't bother with the other brands. You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed. It's an easy to use pad that removed algae fairly easily from the acrylic. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is.
