Starting a thread here to share & seek ideas on cleaning the inside glass of the tank. Please share the products you are using.
1) Filter Wool
- Cheap. Dispose after use. Or recycle to clean stuff like skimmer after than
- Cons : Need to stick hands into the aquarium. Some rock work too near glass narrow for my hands to reach
2) Credit Card
- Great for scraping the glass & sand bed area
3) Tunze care magnet
- Saw a couple of reefers using it with good feedback
- Seems good for large surfaces. Bcos its just a plastic blade, its great for scraping glass near the sand bed. No worries about sand getting stuck on the pads & scratching the glass
- Cons : Does not float. Handle is not very ergonomic. You need to hold it with a 'pinch' grip but its manageable.
4) DD H2 Ocean Mag Scraper
- My favorite glass cleaner so far
- Super effective for stubborn green algae which was impossible to scrape off with the credit card.
- The blade can reach the sand bed. Just need some care not to pick up sand between the pads.
- Ergonomic. It floats.
- The blade is removable
5) Kent marine scraper
- Removable / replaceable blade. It also comes with a metal blade.
- Still need to stick my hand into the water. I preferred the credit card to the plastic blade though
6) Long brush (Pure Aquatic Algae Grash)
- Just a very long toothbrush. Quite good for hard to reach areas within the rocks if you cant or don't want to stick your hand in the water.
