Re: scraping acrylic aquariums

You can use coarse filter floss. It's some type of polyester batting material, 
probably the same stuff they use for quilts. I just ordered a Kent Pro Scraper 
because it will get into the cracks of plexiglass and glass. It's the fancy one 
with the short handle.

  You can buy the spounge things at really any pet
