Just got one and the way it flips is pretty cool and fun to play with. Scraper works on my 70gal glass tank. Sometimes takes a bit of scraping but can get off coraline algae without reaching in tank. Very low profile so can clean lots of previously unreachable places. Don't know how long blades last so will report back later.
Hey Patrice! You do have to replace the blades every so often ... replacements retail for $7.99 as of this writing. :-) And thanks for sharing your experience, "Anonymous."
I just bought one...so far so good. I have 2 tanks 40gal and 80gal. Works great on 40gal which is about 1/4" glass. The 80gal is 1/2"glass and the basic model they are selling is not strong enough for 1/2". I assume they will come out with a larger version. Anyway...it is a cool product.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThat look good! I actually need something new to clean the glass. Do we have to replace the blade or something else once in a while?

ReplyDeleteI called company and said they are working on a metal scraper blade for glass so may be worth the wait
