Aquarium Scraper Recommendations Needed

[john.m.cole3]

I have the tunze care magnet, the flipper, and the mag float, but I need something to clean next to the silicon seams and the back glass where a magnetic glass cleaner won't work due to plumbing. what kind of extension arm scrapers do you guys and gals use?

I had this one and the handle broke this week. I didn't like the angle the blade sat on he glass and it was too short. My tank is 23" deep, so I'll need something at least 24" to 30" long

I use the Kent scraper that extends with interchangeable tips...

Toothbrush. Dog ones are good cuz they have long handles and are a bit stiffer.

I have never found good scrapers that last with extendable arms. I usually end up using a toothbrush and getting wet when I have had enough in the corners.

I have never used something with an extendable arm, so I can't say anything to that extent. I use the Flipper and I love it. Have had it for over 6 months, before then I had the mag float and the flipper, far exceeds the mag float. But I haven't ever really tried anything else.

I've never liked scrapers. I just feel like I can never get the angle I need. I just use a straight edge razor and get wet.

any others? I need the long arm bc the space behind my rock is too narrow to fit my arm w/ a razor blade in my hand

I like the flipper and it gets into some tight spaces .

Tunze by far. Had all the rest.

I am on board with the flipper, I have the medium and nano now to get into the hard to reach places. I had another brand and those scratch the glass with the blades. So far I have not had a problem with the flipper blade scratching the glass.

We use the Continuum Aquatics Aqua Blade when a magnet won't do the trick (long reach or down near substrate). They are awesome, very durable, and the bright white allows us to see little specks that we always missed when using similar black scrapers. Haven't looked back!

Looks just like the Kent I use, but a cooler design.

Pretty much, yep. We received one once since the Kent was out of stock a few years back, and was shocked how much better the white allows you to see specks of algae. The blades from both brands are somewhat interchangeable... they do not click in completely, but they work.

I believe this company was started by one of the original people from Kent, but don't quote me on that!
