It's really not that bad. My rockwork I built very securely to begin with. For glass cleaning I use one of the bigger mighty magnets (they have various pads, I use the dozer pads and algae cutter bag mostly). I use pikstik aqua tongs to move stuff around or grab anything off the bottom.

I like the deep tank. My next tank will be at least as deep.
You haven't had issues with the magnetic cleaners scratching the acrylic? I haven't had an acrylic tank in over a decade, but the last one I had scratched if you sneezed at it...

There are a few scratches but I'm pretty careful (don't let snails get stuck under the cleaning pad). Mighty magnet makes a kit to remove the scratches underwater. I bought the kit but haven't used it.

I use a flipper magnet to clean my acrylic tank and have no visible scratches.

The rockwork in your tank looks great! Can you show a full tank picture?
