"Long reach."

I have 2 of these a Nano flipper for my EVO 13. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! That piece makes getting the side walls a bit harder. The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky. And i love that the handle is so long, I have a very deep tank. Possibly I could keep the filters in my small tank. Or my white bubbler across the back of my tank without this scraper.

"Lots of spare blades."

It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though. The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price. Best aquarium cleaner if you ask me. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. Extremely happy I made the purchase. My smaller aquarium has a back aside that the brush can easily clean.

"It is small and compact."

Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! This is my second purchase of this scraper. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. The real bonus is it actually works. And i love that the handle is so long, I have a very deep tank.

"Such an awesome set."

Don't bother with the other brands. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl. I've used this tool a couple of times now cleaning the glass on my 125gal tank. Just a great set of tools for the price. The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze. You don't need a lot of force, just patience. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit.

"It doesn't float."

It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks. There's another tool that I used to help reset the plants. This tool has enough reach and is plenty strong enough.

"I'm not using the blade."

So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky. The only issue is there is no blade cover provided for storage. It works great for my tank, you may want to get a bigger pad for larger tanks. This scraper is for an acrylic aquarium. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it. This tool was perfect for cleaning everything up.

"Great value."

I bought this size algae scrubber because I have a 13. Best aquarium cleaner if you ask me. Keeps my aquarium looking crystal clean. I have a 24 inch deep tank that requires I stand on a chair to get to the top. But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. I'm glad I purchase it as it also comes with a net. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems!

"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 couldn't resist."

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. It needs the extra support of the thicker pole. Just a great set of tools for the price.

"Works great!"

I bought this based on reviews and sure enough it took care of the algae with ease. How can a pandemic cause algae you ask. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl. You have to squeeze the ends and the cover slides off and the razor blade is exposed. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. Extremely happy I made the purchase. This is a nice tool to have is you have an aquarium.

If you wait months, it gets so thick and tough, it's very hard to remove. This set comes with acouple different cleaning tools. If you wait months, it gets so thick and tough, it's very hard to remove. I have two aquariums, a 49 gallon tank and a 10 gallon tank. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. The Gravel rake make it so much easier aswell to level out the rock. The hole in some attachments must be a little bigger on some than others.

I bought this size algae scrubber because I have a 13. It's also significantly larger so cleaning takes less time. I have a fairly deep sand bed in my 90 gallon reef tank. And 23 inches roughly when its fully retracted. If you have an aquarium with algae, use razer to clean them off the glass. I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made.

"Very easy to use."

It is way overkill for that small tank but I get the job done very quick. The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. This set comes with acouple different cleaning tools. This works significantly better than any handheld scraper I've ever owned. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. The pipe cleaner attachment was very helpful in getting inside the UGF. 5 and a medium sized one for my 100 gallon reef tank.
