Best glass scraper thoughts?

[kyreefville]

I bought the Tunze Nano Care scraper and tried it on my tank. It works quite well, even on the concave glass front. I wish the magnets were a little stronger, but it's much better than the flat block magnetic algae scrubbers.

I just bought tunze nano for my 54 corner and it’s amazing compared to traditional magnet with scrubby. It smallish and allows close work. It’s getting off stubborn coraline other scrubber barely touched. And gets the edges so much better.

I am a fan of the TUNZE scraper!

I bought the ceramic blades mentioned in this thread and have to say that they are fantastic!

1 vote for Zoox scraper, i've tried Tunze (a bit loose) and Flipper (quite big, the blade is not good at all) then happy with Zoox, they have the Nori feeding at same place as weel

I was actually looking at the zoox via a you tube video. Them but can’t find any place that sells them.

Tunze + ceramic blades FTW here. OMG, life changing with regards to glass cleaning.

Wait, what are the details on this? I have the tunze one and always felt it was pretty weak next to Mag Float. I'm rocking with this newer version right now which they made some good upgrades on.

I'm using the flipper but it's over powered even on 1/2 inch glass, the glue comes loose on the dry side causing glue streaks. Buying the Tunze today.

One more time $24 dollars on Amazon uses razor blades

I tried this, it got pretty rusty fast and the blades are super bendy. I actually broke a blade the other day and thankfully saw where it went and got it out with my grabber

Tunze for the win, hands down, not even any close competitors.

You are not rinsing it if it gets rusty, and You must have the blades on wrong for them to break

Yea I don't worry about the rust as its minimal.
Never had one breaK. Go slow you don't need much pressure.

Those come with non metal blades that can be kept in the tank.

My biggest regret in my current tank is starting with one of the magnet scrapers that has the scouring pad. I put two nice scratches in the glass and then switched to Tunze. Should’ve started with Tunze from the outset.

My glass is 1/2” and what I found works really well is I bought two - one regular and one strong. I swapped the dry sides so now each set has a regular and a strong magnet. I keep one with plastic blades and one with metal. The plastic is my go to 90% of the time and I use the metal occasionally for stubborn spots and because it reaches into corners a bit better.

With the plastic blade I think the risk of a scratch is close to zero. The metal is pretty safe too (on glass) but seems like a slightly higher risk than the plastic.

My glass is 1/2 inch and Debating between long and strong. Some reviews say definitely get the strong as the long didn’t cut it in the 1/2 inch glass then others say strong is too hard to move. Any thoughts since you have both and 1/2 inch glass?

The long is fine. I have 12mm glass and the long is perfect.

Sorry I mis spoke mine is 15mm so I guess in between 1/2 and 5/8
