Hi,

I had my hood retrofitted from a company out of San Jose called Pro Spectrum on E-Bay, they do custom LED builds for aquariums

I use a Flipper on my Biocube29. My new tank is starting to get tiny specs of coralline and this scrapper with blade has done a great job. I have found the key to the rounded corners is to clean horizontal. At the rounded corner, the flipper cleans half of the curve. Do the next pane of glass and the flipper gets the remaining radius.

The flipper is great if you replace the blades every now and then. I've been using mine for probably a year and a half now, with great success. My problem is I have too much crap growing around the tank now, so it's getting harder and harder to clean without scraping corals on the inside (even with the super-thin flipper).

Highly recommended though. Not the most powerful magnet, but for its size it's very good. I'd like to try the Tunze nano scraper at some point too, but haven't felt the need.
