Gravel vac with a scraper for BB?

[exnisstech]

Is there such a thing? I want to be able to scrap my bare bottom to remove the detritus that algae likes to grow on. On a tank that has a very small footprint I could get by with just a hose but the footprint I'm working in is 48x22" so I think a type of scraper with a hose attachment would be awesome.
For reference this is want I want to be able to vacuum out. Normally I would just let my tangs and other cuc take care if it but I'm only adding coral right now and am not quite ready to start adding the other livestock. TIA

Seems like something a 3d printer could bust out. I recall VCA offering a crevice tool and vacuum attachment. Maybe check their accessories page and see if those will work?

If trying to remove something hard on the surface that needs to be scrapped like Coralline algae it may not be strong enough. Not sure, but you could ask them maybe?

Hope your day is well.

Its just loose detritus collecting and growing algae. It won't be an issues once I get my livestock and CUC in. I may be better just adding some crabs and snails for now since I'll ne adding them later anyways. They may be able to crawl around now that something is growing they can get a grip on. On tossed a hermit in early and the poor guy just blew all over because he couldn't get a grip on the bare glass.
I'll take a look at VCA and see if they have anything. I did find a post here where a person was printing something that looked like it would work but they haven't been active for a while.
