Best glass scraper thoughts?

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

What do folks think are the best glass scrapers these days (1/2" glass)?

I like the tunze. Because it doesn't have a scouring pad that rests on the glass, it's less likely to get a chunk of sand caught in it.

I really like the tunze care magnet cleaners 1/2” you only need the normal strength and the newer ones with floats are great.

I like Tunze as well…

I am also using Tunze.

@Randy Holmes-Farley did it finally happen? Are you back in? :-)

Tunze Care Magnet 100%

I like my Tunze as well. So expensive though.

I have an algae-free without the scraper I’m happy with. The seachhem hand scraper is nice for the back glass and stubborn corraline.

This exactly why im a fan if the tunze as well.

This is one of the greatest moments in reefing history where we all agree on something.

I wanted to get a Mighty Magnet but I’m going with a Tunze. I find I clip myself carelessly with magnets that are far less potent even when I’m paying attention.

After trying many expensive ones I landed on tunze as well.

Now I’m over here questioning all
my equipment choices and husbandry practices. Thanks everyone :)
And to be fair I don’t have an in tank scraper. I just use the algae free 2x a week without a scraper and then come back and scrape/scrub one time on the weekends.

Does the tunze work on 3/4" glass?

Tunze as well. Getting sand caught one time, and scratching the glass, scars you (and the tank) forever.

Tunze care inside with algae free outside. Easily the best combo I’ve ever used. Chews through everything and the two together are better than either the Tunze alone or the algae free alone.

Are you all using metal blade on the Tunze? Any opinions on the metal blade for it?

I have one with the plastic blade and I end up pulling the old credit card holder scraper out for spirorbid worms.

Some equipment I bought came with the flipper with metal tip. I didn't use it because I'm afraid to scratch the glass. This is also why I didn't get the metal blade for the tunze.

I use the plastic and have a handle metal scraper i use during water changes when my lid is off to get the harder stuff.

That's the route I was thinking of going. Sometimes the credit card scraper needs some work to get the hard stuff off

I saw this on Amazon and wanted to give it a shot

The plastic blades have worked fine for me so far.
