What's Inside Mr. Clean Magic Eraser?
Melamine. On its own, melamine is just an organic base in the form of white crystals. But when combined with other compounds, it can transform into a plush foam—the Magic Eraser—with a sandpaper-like microscopic texture.
Formaldehyde. (Are you flipping kidding me? Inside the tank?) This stuff is best known as the smelly liquid that's used to preserve dead animals for decades and possibly forever. By itself, formaldehyde can be dangerous and sometimes lethal—irritating the skin, corroding internal tissue, and even causing cancer.
Sodium Bisulfite. ... Alone, this stuff has antimicrobial properties; it’s excellent as a preservative for winemaking. Here, it can help boost resin production, but it’s best used sparingly—sulfite-modified foams are less stable and can emit formaldehyde under certain conditions.
IMO.... everyone using this INSIDE the tank is nuts.
You might be getting away with murder in the short term.....but the long term effect inside a tank, you're nuts dealing with Formaldehyde...Would you take 0.1ml of liquid Formaldehyde and dose your tank week-in week-out with it? You cant be serious....Heck throw in some Ajacks while you're at it. Lol
I will not subject my $2000+ coral collection and $1000 fish collection just for having "clean glass" because its "easy".... That'll be like me drinking and swallowing 2ozs of hydrogen peroxide every morning to clean my mouth but in 6mos burn a hole in my stomach
