I'd doubt your glass is anything less than that.
Sounds borderline to me on the Nano. I'd wait 'till they have stock on the Long

Ya, that's what I meant. The long is just right. Nano would probably be too weak and not scrape as well.

I purchased the nano version for my Red Sea 130 (34 gallon). I was not impressed, the plastic blade is very small, approx. 1.5 inches wide and the magnet wasn't strong enough. I would recommend holding out for the full size with metal blade option.

I'm using the plastic blades and find them to be enough. The kit comes with a spare set of plastic and a set of metal blades.

A larger plastic blade on the full version could be adequate. The nano version doesn't include the metal blade option. The nano doesn't work well, I'm back to the mag float as a result.

Thanks for the updates on the nano. I guess I will wait till the long is back in stock or make a online purchase of one.

Thank you for sharing this.

While the size doesn't bother me, the magnet strength is a deal breaker as I was planning to purchase a couple of them for my ADA tanks which are 8mm glass as well.
