Re: scraping acrylic aquariums
Best thing I found for cleaning acrylic is a plastic pad. I am fighting a
battle with green fur algae in my acrylic tank and just bought some plastic
scouring pads at Mclendons last weekend.
The pads I bought were approximately 4" X 10", I purchased both the white
and red pads with the red being a little courser.
They also had a plastic base to attach the pads onto for a broom/paint stick
type handle. I think the pads were $4 and the base was $10.
This probably sounds like overkill for most peoples tanks but for me it is a
lot faster and more convienient then the small scouring pads at the fish
stores for cleaning my tank.
So far I really like the red pad for removing the green fur.
