Cleaning Coraline Off the Edges - dive deep!

[jzw]

could everyone share how they do this?

our acrylic tank is 36" deep, both rookie mistakes ;Watching but barebottom

we're getting the dreaded coraline-creep, from the bottom edges. how do you guys clean this??? it takes us FOREVER, using the corner of a long plastic scraper. the normal orientation (flat side to the pane) is just not strong enough ;Spiderman our continium scraper bends from the force, and is useless down there - so we use a metal jbj, but only the corner works ;Drowning

and of course, our big hammerhead algae scraper is just not strong enough!

snorkel???

Take a look at this thread - I've not read it all so unsure of the verdict but it may be a new option for you away from the scrubbing options!

Nah, no mistake, deep tanks are awesome. My answer to this was to get a really powerful magnet cleaner from Mighty Magnets. Be warned though, they’ll give you sticker shock.

mighty magnets lol!

so my brother just went for it, and used a metal edged kent scraper, the edge was very slightly rounded on the corners. it worked! all the edges on our 400 gal were done in 20 mintutes... no more coraline on the bottom edges, and no scratches! but he's really careful and precise
