ingenious..... true modder!

theres a stainless steel blade with a titanium edge. the stainless steel will rust over time but the edge wont and thats the part that really matters.

Ghetto beyond belief. I love it

I go through these really quickly. They're made to be disposable.

nice!

cheaper, works perfectly. just saying.

i had all these material lying around already; blades for fragging, aquamend for attaching corals.
just thought i'd share since i was scraping walls today.

ingenious! cut shish kabobs w/ the razor, poke em w/ the stick and clean aquarium glass!

He shops at Walmart!!! Omgzz!

no no, I get it, props for diy and whatnot, ingenuity is cool. but you posted the prices, and I remembered I got mine for like five bucks, and it's a pretty blue.

yours is much better for small nano and pico tanks though. in fact, there's a corner of my NW9 that could use a little kebob action...

This is perfect for tiny tanks. Nice one mew.

Damn Jer and his balla staus!!!

He can get multiple cleaners off of 6 dollars though

A satisfied customer.

Don't be afraid to try it out. (:

I made one today from a razor and a chopstick. I used my normal scraper for the vast majority of the glass (it's wider than the razor), and your design for the tight spaces. great for small nanos, esp since my rock is up close to the glass. there's a market for a micro scraper, imo.


and if you design and sell one, I want royalties!

ghetto fab <--crip walk

just remember to dry them after, which i never do. which is why mine's rusty.

lol, I only had mine in the tank for like twenty minutes total and it was already starting to rust.

You can also cut up an old credit card, punch a hole in it, and do the same thing with it.

How is that cheaper than $.25?

Razorblade = $0.16
Toothpick = $0.01
Aquamend = $0.08

Did it this weekend in some hard to reach places - sure beats the hell out of getting my arm wet up to my elbows

Pretty effortless, only thing is you have to get the angle right when scraping but if your "skewer" is flexible, and you hold it just right... it pushes down with enough pressure to get coralline off rather easily.

Also, I was lazy and did mine without the Aquamend - it worked out pretty well.

nice, getting tank walls cleaner since 2009.

The Aquamend solves the angle and pressure problem.

Hahaha... I was about to go out and buy a scraper too. Sweet idea... and I have everything laying around too. Thanks!

i made a new one with a small petco card, and i was going to post pics, but i can't find my camera....

this one won't ever rust, as small as the razor one, but it's not quite as good as the razor.

thats good shat right there. I could use one and will. Thank you!

I have all of this laying around already. Need to make one again to get in those impossible to reach areas. Good work with the aquamend I used tape in the past, derr.

sweet I'll definitely try this for where my rock is too close to the glass. thx for the post

what about using stainless BBQ skewers.. would help with longevity, as i would suspect the skewer to be the weakest link... and then the razor next..

and you sould use the steel skewers over and over.. IF you can get the Aquamed to break off

So I made one today and it works great, although it would've been better if I had titled the blade a little more like in OP's picture. Don't have any lone bbq skewers around so I just used a chopstick. Its ready to go as soon as the aquamend dries.

I have been using skewers for my pico tank as a tool since 08 ! Never attatched a razor to it though ! Great idea !
