Best way to clean the glass

[BroccoliFarmer]

Just wondering what people think is the best way to clean their glass on the inside. I noticed a very small scratch on the inside of my tank and now dont know how I should be cleaning my glass to avoid more scratches. To date, I have been using a razor blade to scrape away. I originally used a mag float but was worried that any of my sand bed might get behind the magfloat and scratch the glass. Any suggestions / best practices to keep the glass pristine? Thanks

I use the mag float but just watch it very closely for sand particles.

I use a shark magnet for daily/light duties. However, since I often get behind on that, I use a hotel card or other likes to scrape coraline. I do have acrylic though.

It's unfortunate your glass has been damaged but honestly I believe it's unavoidable, moving aquascape, sand frags etc, I brought a used aquarium and did not realise the amount of scratches until I filled up with water.
I think any razor blade algae scraper will be as good or sometimes better then suggested 'tunze' as besides cheaper, you also get many razor blades in addition to cost.
In regards to magnet cleaning, if you ensure your internal magnet Is debris free then again, I'm sure it will be great at cleaning

Why the Tunze?

Why the Tunze?

I realize this wasn’t directed towards me, but the thing I prefer about my Tunze is that only the two blades are in contact with the glass so sand getting trapped and scratching isn’t an issue.

I have mag floats, flipper, algae free, and Tunze magnetic scrapers and the Tunze works the best for me.
