that maybe a shorter one is better then a longer stick, because of the distance of he blade from the hand . hm..

Have been cleaning tank's a long time. These are the best, and with replaceable blades. Rinse off the salt water and the blades last longer

themeat thanks for the suggestion bro , is this thing reef safe made? have you ever scatched ur tanks glass with it ?

 

[theMeat]

If you keep it flat and don't pick up any sand you don't scratch the glass. Be careful near silicone.

Why don?t you try the flipper it has worked very well for me doesn?t scratch glass (unless you get into the sand then you have a higher chance of scratching) the magnet keeps it at a perfect level and when they go on sale you can get them cheap i purchased 2 for 2 of my tanks and i love them

The flipper max is awesome and the best magnetic cleaner out there. But it's 80 bucks, and while great for in between quick cleaning, still not as thorough as getting your hands in the tank with a razor and getting some muscle behind it.

40g
he doesn?t need the max he needs the regular and at $40 its not bad i got mine from brs for $31 on sale
And as themeat said you will need to get your hand wet every once in a while but its well worth it does a amazing job

Yes razors can scratch glass if not careful. I always use razor blades even on paint runs on cars, and What I do is just take the razor to a grinder on the edges, or with sand paper to round out the edges.
