[furface]

Hiya People ! ! Hope everyone’s having a bloody awesome day whatever day or time it is where you are. Need some help. Which flipper to buy ? My tanks made out of 15mm glass so I’m interested in what’s the front runner and why !

I have two standard flippers. One on a 32 bio cube and one on a 65 gallon. They work great. No clue my glass thickness though

This is an area where I seem to always end up back oldschool.

But those style scrapers you are discussing look interesting.

Tunze scrapers have rounded ends causing a lot less damage to silicone.
I would opt for the Strong model, although my Long unit works OK.
Easy to get around corners and into any sand bed.
There is a new holder that fits over the handle to make it easier to use.
I also have an old model Algae Free magnet that works well.

I use the Flipper Float (for glass up to 1/2" - 12mm thick) and love it. Used to use Mag Floats, but won't go back. The ability to flip from soft scrubber to scraper without getting my hands wet is a winner in my book.
