QANVEEAluminum Magnesium Alloy Aquarium Scraper Cleaner Brush with 10 Stainless Steel Blade for Fish Reef Plant Glass Tank (Blades-40pcs)

Could Be 5 Stars
I really like this cleaning wand. It's 26" length is perfect for my 24" tall 60 gallon tank. The aluminum rod with cross hatching on the handle and fine thread to attach the extension rod is very nice and gives a lowly aquarium scraper a high end precision feel. The razor scraper is very sharp and makes quick work of algae on the glass. One humorous side note on the scraper...an Allen wrench is included for changing blades but the screws are Phillips head. No big deal there, I just thought it was funny.My complaint with this item is actually it's best feature; the brush attachment. The brush is great for sweeping white sand or brown algae off the rocks. It works like a little dust broom for the tank. The problem is the part that the rod screws into broke after only a few uses...with no stress on the brush either. I could tell as soon as I attached it the first time that the threads weren't threaded correctly. Try as I may, the rod always threaded onto the brush at the wrong angle, thus resulting in it's early failure.EDIT: The seller refunded the full amount of my purchase so I feel more than satisfied. I was able to patch the little brush satisfactorily...for now. When it breaks again, I'll probably buy this same tool again.EDIT 7/28/20: Well, after super gluing the the little brush for the third time I decided it was time to go ahead and buy another one. The stress on the joint is too much for the superglue to hold. It is a tool I use on a daily basis and I don’t see anything that would work more effectively at brushing the Diatoms off the rocks and glass until they eventually end their life cycle. Since the seller was more than fair with me, I feel it only fair to go ahead and buy another.

This is the algae removal tool you should buy
This brush kit deserves five and a half stars (not six stars due to the poor instruction sheet, and its failure to make clear what another reviewer learned via a contact with the manufacturer that installing the razor blades requires disengaging two pieces, not one).That small objection noted, I heartily recommend this set. The strong, well-made handle is configurable into different lengths. The razor blade fits securely into the head and cleans aquarium walls quickly and completely. The tension of the bristles of the brush attachment can be adjusted with an included allen wrench. The set looks sleek, handles efficiently, disassembles for convenience, and is a purchase I am excited to recommend.I also own a highly-reviewed conventional algae brush which works very well. This brush is clearly better.A perfected set would include a case of some sort and much-improved instructions. But DO NOT let the perfect be the enemy of the good! If you need an algae brush, spend some extra money and get this set.

Amazing
I’ve battled some pretty tough algae for awhile now. I could get the thin coating off the glass but had some really stubborn spots that all my previous accessories could not get to budge. This item slides everything off with ease, it feels almost too easy. Very sturdy materials that put together in a couple minutes (including blade attachment). Where have you been all my life Qanvee?One cautionary commment though, be careful while handling and while using in your aquarium. The blades are very sharp and may cut you or the fish. Use common sense though and you should be alright. It does have a “closing cap” for the blade while in storage too.

Quality Scraper & Brush.
Pros: Well designed and well built should last years. Comes with a nice adjustable angle brush for cleaning the corners and under the rim.Cons: Uses a proprietary blade that cost $1.00 each in a 10 pack from Amazon. Could have designed it to accommodate a standard double edge blade that can cost as little as 8 cents apiece.If you want a quality scraper with a brush this is the one to buy. If you want to save on blades get one that uses double edge razor blades.

Awesome scraper (seriously magical)... meh brush
Posting a picture or video would be redundant with all the others.The scraper works wonderfully. Our pleco is lazy and I could only scrape off so much algae with a dish scrubber, so our algae was on *thick*... You wouldn't know the back wall of the tank was a mirror. Plus, the front wall of the tank is curved, so I really didn't have high expectations.But holy carp. This thing is amazeballs. The mirror is functional, the tank looks so bright, it got the curved wall, and the fish are fawning over their reflections like "hey, beautiful stranger... you new around here?"The one and only reason this isn't getting a glowing 5 stars is that the brush is... Meh. It knocks the plants and sturdier decorations over, but doesn't clean them. That said, I didn't get this for the brush. I got it for the scraper.Here's to hoping Waldo, my lazy pleco, will keep it tidy for awhile.

EASY to use, EASY to store, and NO EXTRA equipment is necessary!
The blades ARE VERY SHARP and this kit comes with a pack of them so please use caution when handling and storing...kids get into EVERYTHING.One great thing about this one is that it comes with a cover for the razor so you don't have to worry about cutting yourself while you're nonchalantly reaching into the fish supply cabinet.My tank was completely overgrown with that brown, gunky algae. The pictures speak for themselves. Note that I do not use any type of algae remedy in my tank. The ONLY thing I did was scrape.I am so glad I bought this set and you will be too.1) Use it safely!2) Don't accidentally cut your animals or aquarium sealant! Remeber, the blade is SHARP!3) If you keep up with cleaning in small amounts, the algae floating in the tank afterwards serves as a nutritious snack for your fish; however, if you have a lot of catching up to do, you may want to consider waiting for a water change so you can help clear up the water faster. I actually went around with a net to get out as much as I could but my filters still had plenty of work to do.
