## Description

desertcart.com : FL!PPER Platinum Aquarium Hand Scraper for Glass and Acrylic Tanks - 18" : Pet Supplies

Review: Best scraper out there. - I have 4 of these in various lengths. works great in all my tanks, Short ones for the nanos and long for the 90 and 125. Won’t scratch low iron or acrylic.
Review: Simple, safe and effective. - I saw some other tank scrapers on desertcart that were based on use of a single edged razor blade. While I imagine that they may be *slightly* more effective, I don't know about you, but I scrape the inside of my tank without first removing the fish. So... whipping a razor blade on a stick around the inside of your fish tank seems like a really bad idea to me. If you argued that this "Flipper" contraption is simply a well-made handle with a long extension for the "blank" credit card it comes with, you'd basically be right. On the other hand, it's sturdy, very well-made and works quite well. If you aren't worried about whatever soap residue or other chemicals are on your hands, and you aren't worried about what chemicals may be part of your old expired credit card's magnetic stripe or printing, you could just hold an old card in your hand and do the same thing free. I find that algae grows fast enough in my tank that I have scrape it once a week. So, while I wouldn't have minded if the Flipper had been a buck or two cheaper, I'm really comfortable with having purchased the Flipper. Last point: One reviewer complained that the card didn't always remove ALL of the algae with the very first scrape and that, sometimes they had to (gasp!) go back over a spot another time or two. If you feel that way, then use the dang razor blade. That issue aside, I've got to tell you that this thing is easy to use and I didn't find the effort required to be unreasonable in the slightest. (That other dude should probably give his fish away.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective Aquarium Scraper without Scratching Glass
*by M***I on October 26, 2025*

I bought an 18 inch Flipper Platinum Aquarium Algae Scraper to remove both green and stubborn red algae from my 20 gallon high aquarium. I chose this plastic scraper because I did not want to risk scratching the glass panels. This tool was very effective in removing all forms of algae. I was also able to apply enough pressure to remove the red algae in a couple of strokes. It was way more effective than magnetic scrapers available from other manufacturers. The handle is well designed to maintain a good grip during use. Purchasing hint: Make sure you order a scraper that is longer than your aquarium is high to keep the handle completely out of the water while in use.
