Continuum Aquatics AquaBlade P - Acrylic Safe Aquarium Scraper w/ Plastic Blade, Long, 24-inches

This amazing scraper is perfect for scraping that stubborn algae off the sides of your aquarium. The handle is strong, so I can apply as much pressure as I want, and the scraper edge works great. I used to have to scrub and scrub with an acrylic pad at the algae in my 55-gallon tank. And even then, spots would remain. I used to have to work on my tank in stages because my arm would get tired. Now, with this scraper, one swipe gets the easy stuff, and a few swipes get the rest. I got my tank clean in just a few minutes. Do yourself a favor and get this scraper. You won't regret it.

This plastic scraper made short work of the algae covered front of my 100 gallon acrylic aquarium. I had let it go, and the Aqueon magnetic cleaner couldn't get it off, though it works great if you use it regularly. My algae was tough, and I needed the strength of the 24" model to apply enough pressure for it to work. It did not scratch the plastic at all, and all the built up green algae came off with about 5 minutes of work.I HIGHLY recommend this tool for acrylic aquariums!

The back wall of my all-in-one reef aquarium is acrylic, so I bought this to scrape it when necessary. It is sturdy and well-made, and it does a fairly decent job. Nothing, of course, beats a sharp metal blade, but you can't use that on acrylic without doing a lot of damage, so this is what we need. The handle is sturdy enough so that it doesn't bend while you're using it, and the plastic "blade" seems to have enough of an edge for being plastic. I think that something like this should cost around $10, so that is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Needed a scraper for my salt water tank. This is ok, can’t say I love it.It does not appear to scrape evenly and the long handle actually makes it hard to get a good grip to add pressure for scraping.I tend to hold it closer to the scraper portion and need to apply a great amount of pressure to get it to scrape evenly.I make it work but don’t love it. Price is good though.

U can really out some pressure in the handle n it does fine

Very easy to remove algae off my waterbox aquarium glass. I chose the longer one so I wouldn’t have to get my hands wet. Work good or coralline also if you get it when it first starts to accumulate. Not sure how long a blade will last but very happy with it so far.

A LOT of reviews saying how great this is, at least one refers to it being on newly growing coralline. My experience: a lot of effort for very little or no impact. I think a cotton ball would remove more algae. Or a pad made from the fur of a Harp seal. Whatever you can think of that’s super soft - use that instead. It’ll remove more.Unboxed it, immediately tried it, went right back in the box.

Works very well! Love the long handle!
