Review on 🧼 FL!PPER Platinum Aquarium Hand Scraper Tool – Ultimate Glass and Acrylic Fish Tank Cleaner – Credit Card or Hotel Key Used – Serrated Blade for Effective Aquarium Glass Scraper by Danielle Aycock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Simple, safe and effective.

I've seen several other tank scrapers on Revain that rely on the use of a single blade. While I think they can be *slightly* more effective, I don't know about you, but I do clean the inside of my tank without taking the fish out first. So. Hitting a stick in your tank with a razor blade seems like a really bad idea to me. Anyone who objects that this pinball machine is just a well-made ballpoint pen with a long extension for the included "empty" credit card is usually right. On the downside, it's durable, very well made, and works quite well. If you're not worried about soap scum or other chemicals on your hands, and you're not worried about what chemicals might be part of your old expired credit card's magnetic stripe or stamp, you can just keep the old card in your credit card pocket. hands and do the same for free. I've found that algae grows pretty quickly in my tank, so I clean it out once a week. While I wouldn't mind if the pinball machine was a dollar or two cheaper, I'm actually happy with the pinball machine I bought. One final note: one reviewer complained that the card doesn't always remove ALL the algae from the very first scratch, and sometimes you have to return to the spot a time or two (gasp!). If you think so, use a goddamn razor. That question aside, I have to tell you that the thing is easy to use and I don't find the effort unreasonable in the slightest. (This other guy should probably be giving away his fish.)

Pros
  • CREATE CUSTOM BLADES: Cut your own shaped blade plates to use with the Flipper Aquarium Cleaner to access tight or confined spaces in freshwater or saltwater aquariums.
Cons
  • boring packaging
