Glass Cleaner Help

[dmowrer018]

Hello everyone. This is gonna be a silly question but wanted to see what everyone is using. I recently set up my custom 300 gallon glass tank from Glasscages and I’m not sure what I should use to clean the glass on the inside of the tank. There is just a light film on it but isn’t an algae to be scraped off. I have used magnafloats in the past but had the unfortunate experience of them scratching the glass. Exactly what I’m trying not to do. So if anyone has any suggestions or links to products the recommend, that would greatly be appreciated.

I think it just comes down to algae pads/magnets and being extra careful when near the substrate so nothing gets between the pad and glass. :)

Depending on how thick your glass is, i like the flipper scrapers. They don't scratch in my experience and do a good job of removing the tough film alage.

There are sponge type scrapers but many including myself - magnets as below

The Flipper has been the best for me.
