"I'm amazed."

It literally took me 5 mins to scrape my 55 gal. This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. I ordered different replacement blades to use instead. This aquarium scraper is so much better than the old one. The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. If you think this review was helpful, please don't forget to vote.

"Perfect for nano tank!"

And when i drain water out i can use this without getting wet. It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable. The rake came in handy to smooth the gravel after the gravel cleaning. This kit is great if you have pretty deep aquarium or shorter arms. The one hassle to this scraper is that mounting the blade can be very tricky. I hand no issues with it scratching the glass. Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using.

• Magnetic Aquarium Fish Tank Cleaner, Fish Tank Glass Cleaner, Floating Clean Brush with Handle Design
• Suitable for fish tanks with glass thickness less than 0.4 inch (10mm), More convenient and fast cleaning of dirt and scum in water tank.And it won't scratch the glass.This product can not only clean the fish tank, but also clean the windows and walls. It also has a very good effect.
• The strong magnetic force makes the internal cleaning brush follow the external handle. Don't worry about the internal cleaning brush falling off,It will float on the water automatically. When you don't want to use it, you can pick it up directly from the water. It's very convenient.
• The handle adopts bionic design, which has anti-skid effect and saves more labor when used. The head of the product has a scraper, which is made of harder plastic. It has a good effect on some dirty stains which are difficult to clean. The scraper can be disassembled separately and stored when it is not wanted to be used. It can also clean windows and floors.
• When the cleaning is finished, no need to take it out. The brush is waterproof, just need to adsorb it on the glass, do not worry about brush damage.
• Note: Because the product has too much magnetic force, it is necessary to rotate the two brushes 90 degrees and then separate them.Such a method can avoid injury.

Marina 11018 First Impressions

"I will say this was 2-2."

My husband has even tried to remove it. There are two minor drawbacks to using this tool to scrape algae though. If I applied too much pressure, the handle would snap. It's designed nice, very solid and it's a decent price, what's not to like about it. The real bonus is it actually works. I have used the scrapper and it removed the algae from my tank's glass very easily. The first one lasted for several years.

"Very pleased."

It is very handy for keeping my 30-gal freshwater aquarium clean. I ordered different replacement blades to use instead. Or my white bubbler across the back of my tank without this scraper. The magnet is stronger and best of all it finally floats to the surface. My smaller aquarium has a back aside that the brush can easily clean. The long handle made it very easy to get everywhere. Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty.

"Seriously, this rocks."

So that is the first tool head I grabbed was the corner cleaner. I still had to soak the hard to reach pieces in 1 part bleach, 5 parts water. I ordered different replacement blades to use instead. If you wait months, it gets so thick and tough, it's very hard to remove. The hole in some attachments must be a little bigger on some than others. If they had an extension that'd be nice. This is a good deal and perfect all in one package for cleaning aquariums.
