I contemplated that but with a euro brace I feel it’ll get old fast , and having to work off a stool sucks to get the angles , I’ll get the 5/8 -1” I have the nano and liked it , just have to keep it clean

Keeping the Flipper clean is the key to it.

I use the flipper below and it works on thick glass. Unless you leave the algae on the glass for to long the real crusty spots don't come off. So i also use a razor blade for those spots. The big tank with euro brace isn't fun to use the blades but it works. Don't keep the cleaner in the tank as over time the blade can corrode a little and become dull. I use a file to smooth the edges from time to time on the blade. If the blade gets to old i just get the replacement blades

I find if i use it and take it out and wash it in freshwater and dry it. It stays sharper for longer. If I get lazy and leave it in as i sometimes do. It gets duller faster.
