And I can get those at........

Pretty much everyting I get has to involve a road trip, or shipping. It sux, because I love to "window Shop" and impulse buy when I see somehting in a store. Online ordering, I hesitate, and rethink alot LOL

I bought one of these and it also comes with a metal blade; I have the 34” one because of the depth of my tank I am going to get the hand held version next for more control in certain areas. The replacement blades are cheap. http://www.customaquatic.com/estore/...TOM%20Aquarium

Ya, thats the one I allready have. I use the scraper in just my hand. not on the stick/handle. because it allows more scraping power in your hand. BUT, the blade's not sharp and it aint enough for my coraline. It like Super Algae LOL

Yeah, I know someone that uses the finger hand held version for the coralline algae so when I place an order for my TMP I am getting the hand held and the finger model anything to make my life easier....
I don’t have coralline happening the way you guys and girls have it just a matter of time I guess

Tomjay, It's not a finger version I use, just the removable tip from the handle extension. But it works on mild coraline. But, let mine go for about 8 months now, and its become to thick

LOL, I have a piece of him in my left index finger fro about 2 months now. Still tender on the tip. But then thats what you get fro poking him when intoxicated, showing off to friends. LOL

But once other, he got me in the forearm, while cleaning the front glass. Didn't hurt that time.

I bought a MagFloat 350 and glued on one of these: http://www.jlaquatics.com/info/223/O...cessories.html
Works really great for me. Coraline comes off really easy. Don't really have to reach your hand in the tank either.

The above yellow holder with blades I bought today at Rona. But I'm sure Canadian Tire would have them too. I cleaned all the coraline off my glass in minutes with the razor.

Pretty much any hardware stores sell them...they are called window scrapers and are real cheap
