i don't have a cylinder tank, but never thought this would be an extra problem you guys would have lol. i imagine you can't use one of those magnetic scrubbers, but i would think something like this is all you would need right?

No idea for scrapers, but for a job like that I would suggest some Michter's or possibly Fireball... :p

I have to come up with a solution for my round Mangrove Lagoon. Some ideas I have are:
1. Get a long cleaner magnet that is stronger then you need for you acrylic thickness. Then add some material to give it a curve to match your tank.
2. Modify a Tunze to clean sideways.
3. Make some acrylic blades with a curve to match tank.
4. Seal a long thin piece of steal (tubing cut length wise perhaps and wrap with appropriate cleaning material and use one of my existing strong magnets. material.
