jn Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 I bought a cleaning tool from pet planet. I love it. It's got interchangeable heads on a very long handle. One steel edge (like the paint scrapers) and a algae scrubbing pad on a head that swivels in every direction! Between those 2.. I can clean every inch of my glass without getting my hands wet! (I have a cold tank so that's a bonus!!) The long handle means I can get good pressure on the scrubbing pad for those tough green spots! The scrubber pad is slightly rounded and tapers at the edges too which means I can get into corners and I can do the rounded edges of my Aqua One tanks. (It's also got a plastic side to the scraper which I don't use and it has a little shovel end which is good for flicking out dying leaves or whatnot!) No.. I don't work for pet planet.. it's just the most convenient tool!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coelacanth Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I have started using an Animates Club Card for the algae. About the only good use for it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_r Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 i found out that useing a killie spawning mop does a great job of removing algae, just give it a good rinse when its done and its sweet. Works for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted September 2, 2007 Report Share Posted September 2, 2007 The scrubber pad is slightly rounded and tapers at the edges too Sounds similar to what I use...gets the stuff off the glass no problems! I did buy one of the magnetic scrapers, quite awhile ago now, and it's still in the package, always sayin' I'm going to try it :oops: Caper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
