Glass cleaner

[cba191]

My first tank came with a magfloat. I added the blade. I then got a flipper float. I'm needing another cleaner and am debating the edge and the tunze now.

I used to use the Flipper Edge with the dual metal blades. That resulted in my scratching my glass on occasion. I have since switched to the Tunze Care magnet and only use the plastic blades. No noticeable scratches in the first six months so far!

Tunze with ceramic blades for scraping. Flipper on non scraper side for film.

I run the plastic blades. Have yet to see a scratch on three tanks I use them on. The metal blades are the issue. Been using them for about 6 months now no issues. The plastic blades get wrecked before putting in a scratch. Whereas the metal ones do the opposite.

Tunze is what I used!

I have tried them all and have settled on one that I don't think a lot of people use, the Maxspect Refine. Has a built in blade sharpener and works with glass up to 1" thick.

What are the opinions of the Tunze vs the edge? I've got 1/2" glass.

I mostly use my Tunze magnet day to day, so I voted that. I do also use a Flipper platinum with the metal blade (the plastic blades don't do much) and occasionally a magic eraser when I really need to get in there.

Two tanks with 1/2 glass the edge is solid. Just don’t do the metal blades. I can little see the damage that the plastic blades take that would have cause a scratch with the metal blades I don’t use anything with metal on glass. But I also do not let my glass look like an algae jungle! Just me!

Tunze care with metal blade on the wide end and a ceramic blade on the small end. I have 3 I use in different tanks and have never scratched the glass.
