"You missed a spot!"

This scrapper will trap some of it making it easier to get out of the tank. The head of the scrapper has no sharp or hard edges to scratch the glass. Use them both every day and have zero problems with it. It's also significantly larger so cleaning takes less time. And I don't often say things like that. I would not have an aquarium without this. Interchangeable pads and a water release for the rod.

"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.

It works awesome and does everything I wanted it too and more. Overall this was a very good purchase and good investment. It actually made cleaning the glass enjoyable.

"Incredible!"

Or my white bubbler across the back of my tank without this scraper. Easy to install the blade, seems to be well made. Nano magnet is a little weak on 6 mm WaterBox, but still works fine. I would have gone to the next size up to get the extra pressure on the inside glass. It literally took me 5 mins to scrape my 55 gal. The quality of the product is better than I had expected for the price. The net of this set is a little small for my uses.
