DIY magic eraser scrubber for deep acrylic aquariums?

[Marquarium]

Hi all!

I have recently discovered that a great option many people use to clean their acrylic tanks without scratching is magic erasers.

I've had great luck using them and they work amazing when I use them with my hand.
However my tank is very deep and I can't reach the bottom. I've tried using other scrapers and various sticks I have with magic erasers attached to them and I cannot get them to have the same force as with my hand wiping?

Does anyone have a guide for making some kind of scrub brush that can attach a magic eraser and not fall apart after lightly using?

No magnet cleaner?

At least the magnet cleaner I tried that's supposed to be for acrylic barely gets off a light layer.

I tried putting the eraser in between the magnets and it wasn't strong enough to do any real scrubbing.

Not diy and my tank isn't that deep 21" but this works good towards the bottom.

I bought one of these from Amazon for my 100g acrylic tank and love it

I ordered a bunch of these generic brand. Got a 20 pack for about $12. Way better than the $18 blue sponge on a stick or plastic scraper I had been using. Tank looks awesome again. Thanks!!!!
