Clean your glass

[muggle0981]

What do you use to clean your inside aquarium glass

not digging my aqueon mag float i purchased for my 180g

feel like i made a scratch or two which i never really have scratched my glass in 15years

now im paranoid

I use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser because I'm cheap. You can buy them in bulk and use a different one for each tank and toss when it gets gnarly. For calcified glass growth, I use a razor blade for the same reasons listed above.

I use and like the “hammerhead float plus” by Algae Free. It’s not cheap but no scratches yet

Cheap, floats and works well. Had it 8 months.

I use the Algea Free Piranha Float Plus, and I absolutely love the thing. The only other magnetic glass cleaner I've owned was MagFloats and the Algea Free is wayyy nicer. Although it's not cheap, mine is the cheaper one and was still $60.

I use whatever is in my wallet that's expired

I use the flipper 2 in 1

Mag float and Kent Marine scraper.

Usually when the glass gets scratched there is sand caught in between the cleaner and glass.

This is a great question for a poll!

Mag-Float with the scraper attachment, nerite eggs don't stand a chance

Expensive, but AWESOME!

Mighty Magnet Inc. – Clearly the best

I appreciate the feedback

razor blades and melamine sponges do an excellent job and are dirt cheap.

I use the API algae pads but removing salt crystals and the little brown spots takes extra muscle work. I have a Seapora low iron glass tank. Can anyone recommend something easier that is not going to scratch my glass? Also, what is the easiest way to remove salt crystals off equipment?

I use the flipper hand scraper that uses credit or gift cards. I question how anyone would risk the use a magnet cleaner, but I did a long time ago. It destroyed a 120g with scratches. It only takes one grain of sand, but it's one of those things I think a lot of people learn the hard way like I did. Never another mag cleaner in my tank.

Shop vac!!

Have used the medium-size Flipper on my two custom 150s since day-1... haven’t scratched them yet. (I try to be meticulous in checking for trapped sand— although the Flipper seems good at not picking sand up easily.)

I got 2 huge (3-4”) trochus and turbo snails to do the heavy lifting, several dozen trochus snails and Fritz Monster 460 every 2 weeks. Aside from the coraline, it seems to do the trick.

Magic eraser??? Is that ok?

Hasn't hurt anything in the year I've been doing it! As far as I know, the sponge is just microfoam bubbles without any detergent.
