Biocubers, how do you clean your glass?

[OKCorals]

I have a 32 gallon biocube and I struggle to keep the curved glass clean on the front of the tank. My scraper just doesn't quite hit it well enough to get algae off the rounded front corners. I purchased some brushes, but they're far too soft to make any progress on the algae. I'm sure some of you have found an easy way to clean the glass, so how do you do it?

There is no easy way to get the corners. Not really. Magic eraser original helps.

Thats one of the design flaws with the biocube impossible to clean the corners. They should sell the cubes with easy to clean corner erasers

Booooooooooooo. Do the magic erasers not leave any sediment behind? I've never used them in an aquarium, but they always seem to leave little particles whenever I use them anywhere else.

Asterina are great for that.
I've had pretty good success with a 2" magnet cleaner sweeping left-right instead of up-down.
(full disclosure: My tank's not techinically a Biocube, but it's similar design)

I use a scraper to get the bigger stuff first. Never had an issue.

Yes. Left to right!

I recently bought the Tunze care magnet nano for my biocube and found it works pretty well. The scraper will follow the curve just so long as you don't go too far and the magnets separate

Razor blade when it gets too built up. I have a tunze nano that works well too. I do go left to right on the corners as pickwun said. I have also been using a half dose of vibrant once a week after waterchanges. It helps to reduce the hard green film algae that would build up in the corners. Good luck fellow cuber!

I ripped out the algae pad on the cleaning stick and velcro-ed a green scrubbing pad that is cut little wider on all sides. So when I go around the corners, I press the scrubber edge which is on the green pad to clean the round corners. It works well IF I stay ahead of the coraline algae. Otherwise, it's rub & scrub.

The small square scraper from two little fishes works great

Hotel room cards is what I used when i had my biocube
