I’ve used this scraper for several months now and it’s become a go-to tool. The white color makes it easy to spot algae, and the soft pad blade works well on delicate surfaces. It floats nicely and the handle is comfortable to grip. Great value for the versatility it offers.

Works perfectly on both my glass and acrylic tanks. The retractable blades are safe and easy to store. I especially like that it floats, so I don’t have to search for it after use.
Natalie Mackenzie –
The scraper is effective at removing algae, especially when using the metal blade. The soft pad is good for sensitive surfaces. A bit heavy for very small tanks, but overall very useful.
