Algae scraper (razor blade)

[DgenR8]

Hey guys,
I used to have an algae scraper for my tank that was just a plastic stick, with an apparatus on the end that could hold a double edge razor blade. Mine has scraped it's last scrape, and I want to replace it. It appears that someone is out to protect the average reefer from himself, because I can not find anything close at LFSs I've looked at.
I bought one with a "metal scraping attachment" but let's just say I got less than I'd hoped for out of that.
Does anyone know where I can get a scraper that takes actual razor blades?

were you in SCFR today?

Just get a scraper at an auto parts store or Snap on. The types mechanics use to remove inspection stickers, thats what i use.

Don't know how far you are from Aquahut but I bought one with a double edged razor from them about 2 weeks ago

Larry, If Aqua Hut sells it. I'll pick it up for you. I was there today and ordered a stand for that 180 I got from Mitch. So I'll be there on Saturday. Thats the least I could do for what you've done for me.

I work in Ronkonkoma, so Aquahut isn't too far out of my way. Thank you for offering, Tim.
I haven't been in SCFR recently, but working merely a few blocks from there, I should get in there more often than I do.
I have the auto part store scraper, but somehow that's too much metal. Strange how the metal blade doesn't bother me, but the metal scraper seems like too much.
I could go that route, but I'd rather find it in plastic, if possible.
I've been meaning to check out AH for a long time, now I have another good reason

My mom keeps asking pet stores for the same thing for her tank, she said at one of the pet stores they said she was the 4th person to ask about the scraper =x, good to know it can be found in aqua hut, I'll have to tell her.

I tried Aqua Hut today. They were sold out, but they do sell them.
This was my first time in AH. From what I have read here, I expected the store to be dark, dank and dingy, and look like a real dump. I was really pleasantly surprised at the stock and appearance of the store. I guess I really had the wrong impression all along.
Now that I've been there, I'll certainly go back. It is a little out of the way for me, though.....
