Algae scraper for flat sided tanks

#1 Post by Chris Dee » Sun Nov 15, 2020 8:41 pm

Scraper for collecting algae samples from flat sided aquariums and culture vessels. Useful for collecting encrusted flora/fauna for study. Slide the scraper vertically up the tank side with firm pressure (scoop section downmost), scrapings collect in scoop and can be rinsed out for examination. Made for my own needs, flat sided tanks only (or other flat surfaces), download here if you want to print it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4654707
