    Ok so I got my Flipper scraper today...I have been skeptical ever since ordering it..but i figured i'd give it a shot for $20....Well out of the box i was pretty excited about the sleek look..much better than the dinosaur i currently use to remove film from my glass. Just so you know my aquarium is a 265G Reef with 1/2" glass (which is why i was skeptical). I was so excited to give it a try (anything to help me battle coralline on the glass has me excited)...IT WORKS...holy crap IT WORKS! On 1/2" glass!....it still takes elbow grease, but it WAY WAY WAY easier than getting wet, standing on a chair scraping..getting down seeing where i missed...back up...scraping...repeat. I was so excited that it worked that I didnt even remember to take before and after pics...it was like once it worked..i went all mid-evil on my coralline..lol I recommend FOR SURE!

    I got mine in the mail a few days ago, and i am very pleased. I didnt have any coralline (yet), so I removed the blade so it wouldnt rust or degrade since I intend on keeping it in the tank all the time. The magnet is stong, the flip is pretty easy to master, and I am pretty happy, especially for the price!

    The Flipper definitely rocks. I got mine a week or so ago and it is amazing. :)

    bummer I have 3/4'' glass so this will not work for me. Hopefully they will make another model that supports thicker glass.
