This thing is absolutely massive. It’s almost the size of a brick. The max is definitely for large aquariums. I thought my 75 gallon was worthy, but it’s huge on there. I don’t know if it’s worth $100 as I haven’t gotten to try the scraper portion yet. But the magnet is crazy strong, the flipper feels like a good quality tool, and it’s super simple to use.

Had heard mixed reviews so waited more than a year to finally take a chance on buying this. It is definitely pricey for a glass cleaner but MAN OH MAN is it worth the money! Poor choices with rock placement left many areas of my tank inaccessible to the old magnetic scraper and scrapers on a stick that I had purchased previously. And my glass is very thick so the magnetic one struggled with all but the lightest of algae coatings. But this BEAST of a magnet (God help you if your fingers get caught between the two pieces!) and sturdy metal scraper end made quick work of stubborn coraline algae and thick green stuff in the previously unreachable corners, easily squeezed between rock and glass, and even got above the water line under my canopy. I've not quite figured out the flip technique, but I can't see any good reason to not just keep using it on the scraper side so it hasn't been an issue. In short, my tank has never been this clean and I HIGHLY recommend this product.

I love my flipper! I have a tank with 19mm glass and this thing is so strong I can hold it like 2 inches away from the glass and it still sticks!! I love how I can clean my glass with one or two swipes *I have a reef tank* and I also love how I can transfer from side to front without the magnet giving up, and the scraper floating to the top and splashing water all over the place. This is a great investment!

I have been fighting coralline algae on my 220 acrylic saltwater tank for a while. I've had magnetic scrubber pads that take off normal algae but not the coraline stuff, and I've had long-handled scrapers that work but are difficult to fit behind rocks and don't provide a lot of scraping force due to leverage problems and a cross-brace in the tank top opening limiting movement. I've also had magnetic scrapers of other brands that won't work well with the thicker acrylic of a tank this size (3/4"). The flipper saved me. I popped the blade on the flipper, dropped it in the tank, and after a few minutes running it along the front of the tank over 90% of the coralline was gone. (The stuff closer to the bottom took a bit more time because I wanted to be careful not to trap sand on the unit and scratch things up, but it came off easily too even with my smaller more careful motions). I honestly don't care about the flipper part and almost never flip it - I'm giving it 5 stars just because it works so well in acrylic scraper mode. (From my little experience - the flipper feature works unless you have too much current where you try to flip - the current can suck it away mid-flip. Turn off strong pumps or flip only in low-current spaces). Highly recommended.

My original Flipper Max became just plain worn out after several years from regular use on the 550-gallon aquarium that is part of my aquaponics system. At first I hesitated to throw down the cash needed for a new one so I bought an inexpensive alternative that frankly was inadequate and ineffective. After a few months of not having a clean tank, I remembered that you almost always get what you pay for and this was no exception. I bought a new Flipper Max and the results were incredible! Since I neglected to properly and thoroughly clean my aquarium for so long, I didn't realize that the patches of green spot algae that built up were not being managed by my Plecostomus because they were too hard and inedible. The new Flipper Max handled it all in record time. Believe me when I say the extra expense of this tool is beyond well worth it.

i was surprised at how well this item performs. i've had this cleaner for several weeks now and i use the scraper side exclusively. the magnet is strong enough, but does not appear to have enough strength to crack aquarium glass if used properly. the scraper blade is clean and effective. it easily removes coraline algae often in a single pass. i've found this cleaner to be so effective and easy that i clean my aquarium glass much more often than when i'd been using other products like razor blades, stick-type scrapers, and even those expensive wooden magnetic cleaners with the cute vicious-fish-themed names. i have several reef tanks ranging in size from 20 to well over 100 gallons and this cleaner works equally well in all of them. no qualms about using this on product on strarfire low-iron glass.

It doesn't float... And that's the only down side. Sinks faster in fresh water than salt water so in fresh water you have to be fast and have a low flow area to flip it. Once you get the hang of flipping it (blade pointed down when flipping) it's not bad. It's not as strong as algeafree cleaners but it cost less. The scrub pad is very good. I removed the scub pad and glued cork between the pad and the flipper to make it float as I use mine in many tanks. Scarper side is great. Over all very good. Once you get it to float even better. Use a heat gun to remove scrub pad and the thinnest cork you can find if you want it to float.

Much larger surface area than the Mag Float XL for less than half the price. Working well on my 1.25" thick acrylic tank. I like that the scrapping surface is easily visible past the outside handle. You can see if tiny bits of sand or such get in there before scratching your tank. With my mag floats, I had no idea until it was too late. I was worried about the hard ABS scrapper on my acrylic tank, however it works very well with zero scratches. The flipping action is tricky, but the easiest way is to go around a corner and get it to jump around. Then move back around the same corner to the front again while flipping the handle 180* quickly. The inside piece will roll over. The ABS scrapper side has 4 white nylon sliders to prevent any scratching as it glides along. Using my old mag float to hold up a large Monti-Cap colony I glued to it.
