"Love this!"The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky. The razer blade scraping tool is great as well. I bought this tool to help maintain my aquarium. This is a nice tool to have is you have an aquarium. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set. When this one wears out, I will replace it with the same brand. Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank.

NICREW Final Thoughts
"This work really well."There are multiple attachments which gives options on what to clean with. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. This is a good deal and perfect all in one package for cleaning aquariums. And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet. I ordered different replacement blades to use instead. This cleaning tool set has been working wonderfully. This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank.

"They are the best."You don't need a lot of force, just patience. There are multiple attachments which gives options on what to clean with. This kit is great if you have pretty deep aquarium or shorter arms. If you wait months, it gets so thick and tough, it's very hard to remove. I bought this because I have flowerhorns and they bite. My smaller aquarium has a back aside that the brush can easily clean. Since I knew this I am happy with it.

"Scarper side is great."I would not have an aquarium without this. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank. This set works great for the portrait marine land 5+ gallon kit glass tank. I could even clean the back glass by reaching over the top of the tank. It is very easy to swap the heads with very convenient locking system. The angled head of this thing makes all the difference.

"I will say this was 2-2."The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky. This is a good deal and perfect all in one package for cleaning aquariums.

You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed. I have a fairly deep sand bed in my 90 gallon reef tank.

"It will last much longer."Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank. If it was half the size and maybe came with two extenders then it would be better. The hole in some attachments must be a little bigger on some than others. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set. I have used it a lot and really like it. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. I like that the length is adjustable, too.

"A must-have."This kit is great if you have pretty deep aquarium or shorter arms. I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly.

"Don't increase the angle."I would have gone to the next size up to get the extra pressure on the inside glass. When this one wears out, I will replace it with the same brand. 5 inch wide razor blade to scrub algae off of the tank. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. If you hate cleaning and scrubbing your tank this thing is for you. And I don't often say things like that. Possibly a plastic case for storage around this wet environment.

"They work really well."And I don't often say things like that. I have bigger fish and the net is for smaller. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. Aside from that, I'm happy with the product! There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water.

"Would buy again."This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank. The only issue is there is no blade cover provided for storage. The hole in some attachments must be a little bigger on some than others. Add in a gravel vac and you'd basically have a complete cleaning kit. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. 5 gallon fluval EVO tank running a saltwater set up. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though.

"I recommend!"Small and inconspicuous in the tank. It literally took me 5 mins to scrape my 55 gal. If you think this review was helpful, please don't forget to vote. The rake came in handy to smooth the gravel after the gravel cleaning. Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank. I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. For stubborn spots, you may need to scrub a bit harder.

"Works perfectly."This set really save me lots of time when I clean my aquarium. My only gripe is that the blade is not replaceable. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. Hope this review helps a few hobbyists out there. It also works well at knocking off buildup from my decorations without removing them. I've used this tool a couple of times now cleaning the glass on my 125gal tank. Due to the tank being built in, it's very difficult to clean from the back.

"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.

"Small but mighty!"If you hate cleaning and scrubbing your tank this thing is for you. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl. The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. It is very easy to swap the heads with very convenient locking system. That has an impact on how well this brush works. This tool was perfect for cleaning everything up. The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky.
