Algae cleaner

[Dylan Noetzel]

I was wondering what I should use to clean algae off my acrylic I’ve been using a sponge but I then have to stick my arm in the tank which is a hassle. Any recommendations for a magnetic one?

Good question! Full arm gloves is another possibility.

Following, if you get a magnetic one you must be careful about sand and acrylic.

The tunze algae magnet is probably a good option because it can't trap sand or scratch the tank

Ya I know to be careful around the bottom near the sand bed when I clean with the sponge. Will the scraper on the tunze scratch acrylic?

It comes with a set of short and long blades that can be swapped, and the tunze website says the short blades (plastic) are safe for acrylic

Ok cool I’ll look into that one thanks.
