Easy blade!


So I've got short arms and well... I'm lazy when it comes to scraping my tank. My tank got COVERED with Coraline algae and I just couldn't get it all off, especially along the bottom I saw this online and honestly wasn't sure if it was up to the challenge of how much I have. All the videos/pics I saw were of one or 2 little spots of algae. I went ahead and ordered it anyways, along with a new magfloat.

All I can say is WOW!
I took my own video.

I am worried about my large acrylic setup gathering lots of algae... That looks liek a razor blade which is a no no for my plastic...

I wonder if they have anything like that for 1" acrylic.

I bought the one from Dr Smith and it works great. I have not bought the refill blades I just carefully put in a razor knife blade. It is harder to keep straight in the holder but works great as well

Just seeing this post and wanted to jump in. I have one and it really is great. Just glue it to your mag float with super glue and scrape away. One thing though, when you are done, take the blade out and wash it off and store it away. I forgot to do that and the water rotted it away.
