Try contacting AlgaeFree about your problem.

I have the Hammerhead and TigerShark. My Hammerhead is 10+ years old and the other is about 3 years old. I had a problem with the cleaning side do the TigerShark taking on water. Contacted Algae Free and the sent me a replacement.

Great customer service!

IMO, they make the best cleaners out there!

Hey thanks I will do that. And I did get the hexplex Vertex and it doesn't even come close to the Hammerhead and I don't like it.

I'm using the Flipper cleaner … and I'll never buy anything else ever again. Hands down the best one I've ever used.

I have a hammerhead Float sitting here too, but it hasn't been used since the flipper showed up. I haven't had to stick my hand in the tank to scrap coralline since the day it showed up.

They have stainless steel blades for glass … and plastic blades for acrylic tanks

How does the cleaning without the blade compare to the Hammerhead? I am in need of a new scraper and was looking at the Algae Free Piranha model as it will only be for a 29g.

The cleaning is still good. They have a few different sizes depending on glass thickness.

I have the flipper for 1/2" glass … and its good. The magnet isn't nearly as strong as the magnet on my hammerhead … but it's still good enough for cleaning.

I find I use the blade side more often than not anyway. It scrapes your film algae, and your hard algaes so much better than any pad will.

+1 on the flipper. I also just use the blade side now. Very easy, and i love the slim profile.

Where is the best place to get a hammerhead Cleaner in the Edmonton area and how much are they?

Thanks

Mike
