These go for about $7 or $8 at your local fish store. Not a bad deal at $4.39. Love to see aquarium related deals!
It's super important to support the $40B private equity firm who owns Chewy instead of Amazon. Go little guy!
The increase in aquarium deals is saving me a ton on a hobby that can get expensive. The price on one of these is decent, but I just use an old target gift card against the glass during a water change and it works perfectly.

These work really well if the corners of your aquarium doesn't have rounded edges. I prefer snails for the algae cleaning. Snails populate like crazy... but there are ways to control it with baited food.

Hello, do you mind explaining how to control the snails? I don't know what to do with them. Thanks.

Theoretically yes… you have 2 have an aquascaped perfectly balanced established tank… that circulates it's water to another aquaponics growing tank and pumps it back up to your fish tank

Grab out the egg sac and throw it away or give to someone when you see it

There, I fixed it for you.

Just ask any (well, mine, at least) 8 year old helper how wonderfully do these thing scratch the ***** out of your tank, when not used carefully or properly.
I can't blame the kid, but if like him you happen to pick up a speck of gravel/sand/etc between the pad and the glass from the bottom of the tank, you also will know the "joy" of wonderful scratch lines across your front glass!

Agreed on everything else stated by others above; learn to run your tank "perfectly" (easy peasy, right?), and after you give up fighting snails and just let them do their job, watch the tank take care of itself.

Good price, but remember, matches are also free at the local convenience store, yet it only takes a few seconds to burn your house down to the ground.
Peace

Folks, please buy from Chewy or the other non Amazon when possible. It's sad how SD just jumps on the commission without considering the smaller companies.

If you build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day, but if you set a man on fire he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

So true. One side of my 75 gallon had several long scratches on the front. Finally realized my kids' friends were being "helpful" by cleaning the tank. They must have had a snail shell caught between the magnets. Always had to stash the magnets after that, and the kids would ask where they were. Lesson learned. Hide this if you have kids!
