Hi all, I have a nano reef (16 Gal) I also have rockwork and coral quite close to the glass. I cannot use magnetic cleaner as they do not fit between the rock and glass. So I think I need a low profile scraper with a fairly long handle. Could anyone please recommend a good, low profile, easy to use glass cleaning divice?
Seemed to me not a priority as far as equipment goes, but in the clarity of time a good scraper would be worth it weight in gold to reduce the chore of keeping my glass clean.

Thanks

The Nano Flipper is much thinner than a Mag-Float




This could be an option too

I’m fan of the tunze scraper line and they give you replacement parts. The magnet is strong and I typically only have to do one pass with it not back and forth like most. I also have the flipper but my only gripe about it is it feels cheap and flimsy for the price you pay and the magnet doesn’t feel as strong as the tunze.

Thanks guys, for getting back on such a "non sexy" subject. The Flipper is no good to me for a number of reasons including the fact that mine is an all in one tank so no go as I like to keep the back clean and the 'Back sump" is full of stuff;)
HOWEVER the MiguCo Stainless Steel Algae Scraper Cleaner is the bomb! exactly what is called for, thanks GoVols
