I have a 36 bowfront, wondering how people clean the front glass? Right now i’m just using a melamine sponge but wondering if a magnet cleaner will work on the bowfront?

My biocube has a slight bow in the front and its annoying to clean with a mag float because you have to get the angle just right

I had a 36 gallon bowfront and magnet cleaners were not great with it. I loved the looks of it but because of cleaning the front glass I upgraded to a 56 gallon column tank, where cleaning the glass was much easier. Both have the 30" across the front dimension so I could use the same light fixture.

I used a Heat Gun and took the Pad off of the MagFloat Inner Magnet. Installed a more robust industrial Loop side of Velcro
