"Recommended, good buy."

I have a 55 gallon tank and this does a very good job removing algae from the glass. I used a scrubber with little result. I order this Extendable 5 in 1Fish Tank Cleaning Set. It's an easy to use pad that removed algae fairly easily from the acrylic. The telescoping handle is nice and makes cleaning deeper tanks a breeze. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. This is a nice tool to have is you have an aquarium.

Seachem 67103202 Final Thoughts

"I used this for my 1."

I have a fairly deep sand bed in my 90 gallon reef tank. This set really save me lots of time when I clean my aquarium. 5 gallon fluval EVO tank running a saltwater set up. Extremely happy I made the purchase. Small and inconspicuous in the tank. Or my white bubbler across the back of my tank without this scraper. This tool was perfect for cleaning everything up.

Seachem 3208 First Impressions

"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.

"Good value for the money."

Hope this review helps a few hobbyists out there. The first one lasted for several years. The only down side would be that the main section that holds the blade is a bit long. Cuts through built up algea in hard to reach places with no problems! Also love the ability to quickly change tools with snap on head feature! I hand no issues with it scratching the glass. It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more.

"Magnet is strong."

Great for the price as I was not expecting something extremely heavy duty. You don't need a lot of force, just patience. It comes with a big net, small net and a few other tools so it is worth it. This little pad was just what was needed for cleaning up our 2 gallon bowl. This set comes with acouple different cleaning tools. I was surprised at how heavy and well built this is. I've used this tool a couple of times now cleaning the glass on my 125gal tank.

I found the key to keeping the algae under control is to clean the glass regularly. My aquarium recently had a bad algae outbreak. My aquarium recently had a bad algae outbreak.

Works way better than the Mag-Float I was using. This set works great for the portrait marine land 5+ gallon kit glass tank. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod. And 23 inches roughly when its fully retracted. Use them both every day and have zero problems with it. Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made.

But for the price I paid, I don't mind water running down my arm one bit. 5 inch wide razor blade to scrub algae off of the tank. But since no directions come, I thought I might mention it.

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.
