I got a Piranha for a Christmas. I started in this hobby in 2003 and this is the best I ever used. The front glass has never been cleaner. The blade gets the coraline off the bottom and silicone edges of the front glass like a pro. The pad gets off algae growing in scratches. I’m so excited to see a clean full frontal for once.

6" scraper handle angled

Box of stainless blades, last forever just about. Price? $30 bucks with handle.

Plus side of this is, I have never scratched the glass with a scraper. If you get a tiny peice of sand or rock in those magnet scrapers/scrubbers, it's scratch city on the glass. The magnet scraper I have is now a home for copepods, lol.

I just use a spatula-style algae scraper; no algae so far but have had to clean with the scrubber pad a few times. It has a blade for tough coralline algae, but I have not yet gotten any of the coralline algae in my FO with dry rock.

Just bought a new Tunze that floats. Got the strong +. Cleaned the glass very well and I could get down to the sand and not get the grains stuck behind the pads. Very pleased so far!
How thick is your glass?
