DIY Algae scrubber - super simple

[weileong]

Trying to scrub algae today but cannot reach the whole tank so make this super simple DIY.

Cut a PVC pipe and saw a small slot thru it.

ok.....

found a old credit card then insert in.

Done

Simple enuff eh? Now the back of my tank super clean.

Now my hands are totally dry. Fishes no need to smell my arm pit.

cool

might as well use MasterCard, all purpose!!!

Total cost maybe 50 cents, time: 5 mins, maybe lesser.

Old phone card also can

Or door access card from hotel in Genting also can use

Gotta thanks bro Roidan for telling me those blade type sold in LFS might scratch the glass so suddenly this idea came to me

my tank got a small hairline scratch and i thought nothing. but when algae grows in it, it is almost impossible to remove

i kept observing the growth of coralline and other algae on the front glass. happy for the coralline. today felt it was unsightly and must clean liao, use the genting card but hard to reach some areas so not clean but still gotta use quite a bit of force. was thinking of a better idea.

yea, me too...but i can remove it by putting my whole hands in and bringing a scrub down and scrub it....it will be gone..

Good idea... but does the card hold properly? Coz some stubborn algae ened a good wacking before they will dislodge...
