mr. clean magic erasers....or the white scouring pads work well... all the plastic scrapers like kents work well but when you drain your tank you will have some nasty scratches...

this might be a stupid question but mr clean magic erasers can go straight into the tank?

I have glass, but have been using the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers exclusively several times a week for many, many months. They're completely safe. I haven't used them on acrylic, but see no reason no to. It's a great product. Get them cheap at Home Depot. Make sure you get the original/regular version.

Magic erasers are made of tiny fibers that actually act like a fine grit of sandpaper "3000grit" range.... There is no chemicals in it, therefore yes it is safe to put inside your tank... I was scepitical for awhile but I kept trying it in my acrylic sump to see if it scratched or the animals showed any stress and all was well.... I use it all the time it works like a champ.... So for acrylic tanks like mine I use mr. Clean erasers inside and I use novus #1 on the outside with a soft cloth it keeps it looking new and takes the static out of the plastic so it don't attract dust....
Btw don't ever use any chemicals like windex etc. They cause damage to acrylic and will make it break down and start crazing "fine cracks" etc.... Any chemical that has a odor, pretty much causes harm....

Magic Eraser.. works great on Acrylic tanks. Still have to use the plastic scraper for coraline algae, but does a number on the brown and green algae.
