Which Algae Scraper do you use for your nano?

[Ragby]

I've got a Solana 34 and I'm in the market for a magnetic algae scraper. I don't have any coraline build up yet, but who knows what the future brings. I've read good things about the Fl!pper but it seems expensive at $39.99. What are you using and do you recommend it?

2 little fishes nanomag for everyday cleaning and the cheap Kent yellow algae scrapper for weekly touch up.
I have 1 Solana and 1 25g Economic (Solana in 25g).

I use a mag float and the yellow Kent scraper.

I use a Nimble Super + a used credit card every month. I've tried the TLF scraper and find that the pressure from the magnets is focused in the centre and doesn't scrape the edges/corners very well. The problem is still there on my nimble super but noticeably better, but I still need to scrape the corners every month and I just use an old credit card since my hands will be wet from the vacuuming of detritus anyways.

How is it? Did you get the larger one? Does it float? I have a nimble super and not too happy with it. Weak as hell and keeps coming off even when I go super slow on the glass.

I have mag-float its decent, but an old plastic card works the best for me. It's ghetto fabulous I guess lol

I use a mag float, an algae pad, and a razor blade for anything exceptionally hard.

I've got the Vertex as well. It does a good job at getting film algae off and some harder algae. Not coraline though. It also does not float so be careful not to pick it up with the other side on the ground. You'll destroy your glass with sand. Its super thin though

I have the flipper. Imo Kent scraper is much more efficient

How are the kent scrapers?
I use a razor blade at the moment. Wondering if the kent scrapers would be faster cause of the size.
