I know we need to keep hands out of tank as much as possible. Having 1 1/2 thick acrylic tank. Its next to impossible to clean it without all hand in it. What do people do on their acrylic tanks when they cant reach. With coralline growing on the front glass I have to use a credit card to clean it off. I use magic eraser also. What are some tips that I could use to clean without putting my hands in the tank.
 
Get some arm length gloves! 1.5" thick??? How many gallons? Sounds like you might also need some scuba gear.
 
Its only 180 gal. I just cant reach the bottom 3-4 inches. I have a glove that covers my arm but it always get water in it.
 
My 450 only has 1” thick acrylic walls - why so much for a 180? Mighty magnets make cleaners for walls thicker than 1.5”, but they’re expensive.
