I have a 340 gallon display 3 feet wide by 6 feet long and 31 inches tall. It's built into a wall with wall butting up to both ends of the tank and the front. It's a pain to clean the glass. Takes me close to 45 minutes to clean all 4 sides of the tank. I used to have a scraper that was ultra wide. (blade was 6 inches wide) and it was telescoping up to 26 inches. It worked great for everything. I had the glass clean in 20 minutes. That product is discontinued and no longer made. Everything went back to the 3-4" blades.

It's there not an ultra wide algae scraper that's 6-8" wide? Heck I'd go larger if I could. Clean glass with a 3-4" scraper just is slow, cumbersome, and easy to mis spots because it covers such a small area. . I use a flipper for the front, which works good, just the ends and back I would love something a little heavier duty. I don't think it exists though. . .
