Glass Cleaner/Scraper

[bpbonds]

Just Bought a new Aquarium last thing on my list is a Glass Cleaner/Scraper looking for recommendations. The Aquarium is a 5 foot 26x24 Peninsula tank Glass is 15mm front to back, tank ends 19mm, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Being a hack, and a cheap one at that. I took a piece of 1/2 pvc about 2 foot long. Cut a angled slot in the end so a razor blade would fit. You can play with the angle to see whats best for your depth of tank.

Flipper max I've heard nothing but good things about it. Kinda pricey though.

I use this flipper scraper. Will never put another magnetic cleaner in my tank after one destroyed the glass with scratches.

@vtecintegra makes a good point, just wanted to confirm you have glass and not acrylic as a magnet would scratch it.

+1 Flipper - it's the bomb.

Gave up on the flipper and move to Tunze Stronger Scrapper. Much better at cleaning glass (significantly less back and forth) and less chance of scratches.

I purchased the Tunze too but it was very poor at cleaning the glass compared to the Flipper. Maybe I am doing something wrong? Glass is 3/5 inches thick. I had to switch back to the Flipper.

Care Magnet Long 0222.015

Tunze has reinvented the magnet glass cleaner with the Care Magnet, which is comprised of an ergonomic handle and specially contoured plastic blades made of wear-resistant high performance plastic. One of the standout features of the Care Magnet cleaners is their blade shape. The plastic blades...

Kinda Torn Between the Flipper and The Tunze, this will be my 7th Aquarium I have used plenty of different brands but never the Flipper or Tunze.
