The Flipper another review

I just got my Flipper from Matt today that I won in the coralline removal contest.

It is a very nicely built product. Doesn't weigh as much as as the large Mag-Float that I have but seems to be just as effective for staying in place. It has about the same foot print as the Mag-Float. It works similarly also until you get it to flip over to use the scraping blade. I was very pleasantly surprised with how well it removed the coralline algae with out jumping over or onto it. Definitely will require less elbow grease to remove your coralline. I am so impressed that I plan on getting one for my planted tank.

 

congrats John

I would love to see a video of this thing dealing with the coraline
photobucket vid if possible as I can see those

I would try to do one but I live a lone and don't know if I could find a videographer. Best description I can give it think of using a single edge knife blade but without getting your hands wet and without the hand cramps from holding the blade.

Thanks Steve.

 

This thing is so good I'm designing my next tank around being able to reach all faces by magnet cleaner. I never considered them anything more than an in between cleaner and always felt I needed to have easy access to all faces internally.

 

Thanks for the review John. Glad it made ok!

 

Very cool John. I do love my Flipper too, its a great product.

 

Agreed. It is a great product. Works well on my green hard algae. Also no scratches like the mag float was doing to the tank! .
