Hi there!
We are about to move into a new home with a new tank. My old systems were all glass tanks and i cleaned them with mag floats. I love those... But: The new system is acrylic, and its rather large: about 16 ft long (5 meters).
I am wondering if those among us with acrylic tanks are willing to share how they clean their tanks?
I saw several youtube videos: some were recommending "magic erasers" (if i remember correctly) Others were big fans of cleaning their tanks with nothing but credit cards. Cleaning a 16 ft display with credit cards: oh boy :)

Please tell me: Whats your preferred method, whats your experience? Recommendations?

I think one of the vendors of magnetic cleaners offers an extension specifically for acrylic if I’m not mistaken

Hopefully you do a build thread so we can see it there. I got rid of Insta when FB bought it. Shame you can barely see anything without an account
