Algae brush/scrapper

[Dine]

Who makes a good algae brush/scrapper for glass. It would be so much easier/cleaner/faster to use a stick-like brush on my nano. My magnetic one works great but splashes and I have a little less control near the sand. Tank is 12” tall so something in the 15-18” range would keep my hands dry. Reading reviews and seems a lot of them are flimsy and break. Anyone have one they like using? Looking more for a brush then razor but if it has a razor attachment that’s fine.

Brushes i just use a pack from amazon of dish dish brushes. And they second as pump and skimmer cleaners too.

for glass i just really like my flipper lol. Every now and then i replace the blade on it. All my stick cleaners end up missing spots and take me longer to clean with. I stopped buying them.

I’ve always used magnets. Currently have an algae free piranha. It def works. But this is my first shallow tank and the piranha does splash a bit when I’m near the top. I think I could avoid some if that if I could just use a stick.

After trying many brushes and magnets, there is no better one than the flipper. Has a pad on one side and a blade on the other. Gives tremendous control without having to worry about getting sand between the magnet and the glass. I don't have any issues with splashing but I am careful near the surface.

Flipper Magnetic Cleaner

Flipper Magnetic Cleaner is perfect for tanks that grow coralline algae and other stubborn deposits on the glass or acrylic. Flipping the cleaner magnetic is a very simple concept working off the polarity of magnets letting you use both sides of the algae scraper. The blade on the Flipper works...
