Algae Scraper/Cleaner

[mike90]

I have a 90 gallon which is pretty tall and I can never use my magnafloat cleaner to clean the back of the tank since i have my blue backing taped to the back. does anyone recommend any scrapers/cleaners with a really long handle and/or where i can get one? or even if someone wants to sell me one if you have a spare laying around. i have this one http://www.marinedepot.com/md_viewItem.asp?idproduct=HG11018 right now but its still too short.

thanks.

1/2" PVC pipe with a slot cut for a razor blade. Should cost nothing if you have the parts laying around. If your tank is glass that is.

Kent makes a fabulous extension handle scraper. It has wide pads available as an interchangeable attachment too. Well worth the cost - I have a 300 gal acrylic that is tall and I can reach every spot in the tank for cleaning (from a ladder of course). :lol:

how many feet is the scraper with the extension on it?
