Coralvue Flipper Scraper Question!

[Dimorb]

Is it possible and an option to store the flipper scraper inside the aquarium at all time or do I risk something / contamination for doing so?

I keep mine in my tanks full time because I am more likely to clean the glass more often when it is readily available. I park mine at the top with the blade facing outward (soft scrub side against the glass) and with the blade out of the water so it doesn’t get covered in coraline algae or corrode as quickly.

Best practice would be outside the tank.
If small snails or other creatures with a hard exterior settle down on the pad you could end up scrapping scratches into the tank glass by mistake

^This^ I had an astrina get between the pad and glass when I was leaving mine in the tank so I no longer leave them in.
