Good sturdy scraper

I have tried other seaweed scrapers before and most had rather weak handles. If I applied too much force, the handle would have broken. I'm not worried about this scraper. Very strong and thick grip, I put a lot of pressure on it in some hard to reach places and it got them done with ease. I've found that the key to algae control is regular glass cleaning. If you wait months, it will become so thick and hard that it will be very difficult to remove. Once you've cleaned your jar well, simplyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Has flaws

Good for tank cleaning

Bought this to clean my 10 gallon glass tank while cycling. I use the fish feeding method in my aquariums without fish. Because of this I get some algae growth as it takes months to cycle this way. I would say this is a pretty good product. It takes a lot of rubbing to remove some of the algae, but it doesn't scratch the glass and it holds up well. One note though, I can't speak to the durability of this scraper as once my tank was cycled I put fish and slug algae in it which saved me the needโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Better than I expected.

First impressions of this tool were very positive. The scrubber is a lot bigger than I thought based on the photos. It's thick and wraps around the end of the scrubber so you can flip it over and use both sides if you wish. My seaweed was quite heavy so I didn't remove it on the first pass. I blame myself for letting things go so badly, I don't blame the washerman. It should be noted that with a 55 gallon tank you will NOT reach the bottom of the glass without getting your hands wet. The handle

Pros
  • Top marks from testers for grip and durability
Cons
  • boring packaging

Scratch Glass - Fish & Water

API Algae Remover isn't worth a penny. This scraper easily scratches aquarium glass; Acrylic, low iron glass and regular glass. The concept of this scraper is just what I need to remove algae and keep the glass in pristine condition. However, the long-term consequences and glass damage are not worth getting rid of algae temporarily. The pad is abrasive and is made of inferior material. This scraper claims to be very long and sturdy; However, this is not the case. The handle is about 17 inchesโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Repair
