Review: Buy it and give yourself the upgrade you need - I have a 112 gallon aquarium that's in the wall of my office. When I would clean the front I would use a magnetic cleaner or I have a blade on a long handle, but the problem is getting the tough algae and knowing where it is. The normal mag scraper does an okay job but at some point the tougher algae shows up and it take a lot of going back and forth between rooms. I just tried this Flipper Magnetic Aquarium Glass Cleaner and WOW it worked perfectly! I could use the blade on my glass aquarium and easily and quickly remove the stuff on the sides and near the sand. This is a game changer for me. HIGHLY recommend. Plus the surface area of the non blade side is larger than the other scrapers I've used, and the magnet seems stronger, which is a big deal for me because the glass on my aquarium (from glass cages) is pretty thick.
Review: The Flipper is a great scraper. - When looking at this and deciding to buy it, the price seemed rather expensive for what it is... basically a few magnets encased in plastic. And upon receiving it and opening the box, just looking at it -- I was less than impressed. But whoa!! That all changed the first time I used it! I have a 55 gallon planted goldfish tank that gets allot of light. And so stubborn algae on the glass has always been an big issue (Side note: I have been an aquariumist for over 37 years..... so I have seen and used allot of glass cleaners, including many magnet style ones.) Anyway, I opened the package and took it out and put it in the tank to use it Still thinking.... boy -- 39.00 seems like allot for this gizmo. ONE SWIPE. Yes folks... all it took just one swipe up and down the glass and I was hooked. One swipe up and down, using the "blade" side, took of almost ALL of the stubborn embedded algae that previously 10 min. of scrubbing had failed to remove. This scraper has an ingenious design- It has two little raised "bumps" on the blade side that make it press "nose down"on the glass at a VERY slight angle-- Thus causing the blade "nose" of the scraper press on the glass with a bit more force than the opposite end of the scraper. It is hard to describe this unusual little feature, but you will see it when you examine the unit. And I feel this adds greatly to its effectiveness because it works like a charm! Plus, the magnets held fast on the 55 gallon tank I was using it on. They are definitely NOT weak magnets. It has very strong magnets. Some other features are: It is two sided (Hence the name "Flipper") Flip it over from the blade side, and it also has the conventional "scrub pad" side that is perfect for removing slime algae and film. It also comes with an interchangeable plastic scraper blade to use instead of the metal blade. You would use this plastic scraper blade plexi and acrylic tanks. I was very pleased and would recommend this scraper. Yes, it is kind of expensive for basically some magnets encased in a plastic shell.... But you will easily get your moneys worth out of it just based on all the time you will save scraping your glass. It works very well! This is a good product. Cheers, Todd

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Has this scratched your glass?**
A: I have an issue with them where after about 3-4 months, the exterior pads get pilly, like an old sheet.  Once they're not smooth, they can scratch.  I solve that my covering the outside with a microfibre towel, and making sure to change the pads regularly.   You should always inspect the pads and blade for any grit, dirt, or defects and replace the pads as needed.   The blades on this one are thicker than on other brands I've used, so they hold up better, and tend not to deform.

**Q: Will this work for Coralline algae on an acrylic tank? I don't want to end up scratching my tank.**
A: It will and it's amazing!  Rarely do I respond on these things but this truly is a life changer.  I now scrape my tank weekly because it's so easy...used to be a major chore getting ladders, chairs, etc out.  Just be careful not to get any sand in between the two pieces...it's easy to ensure this doesn't happen because the magnet is so strong, you just let it loose quickly and any sand falls out.  Good luck, I personally feel it's worth every penny. (Have had mine for about 6 months or so now and it's still perfect.)

**Q: I am a total novice with a 120 gallon extra deep glass tank.  What size do I need?  Tank is just now reaching equilibrium after 2 months.**
A: Do you know how thick your glass is?  Up to 1/2" glass thickness, get a Flipper standard size.  If the glass is thicker than 1/2", then get a Max.  120 gallon tank could be more than 1/2" thick, so please check before buying.  Hope that helps

**Q: Is there any kind of cover for the razor blade when it is not in use? I recently lacerated my thumb very badly while using a long handled razor tool.**
A: There is not a cover but the blade on the scraper is not that sharp. It's not like a razor blade that you would find on a box cutter. We've been using them for years with no issues. Thank you, Scott
