I have a bunch of vermitid snails. Not interested in getting them out from the rocks but looking for a tool to scrape from the bottom of the tank. It is bare bottom.

Anyone come up with a decent tool. Looking at vegetable peelers, rasps with a handle...ect.

thanks,
Albert

There are a lot of "long handled scrapers" . How wide and what the blade is made of is what you will need to figure out.

Thanks for the reply lapin.
I'll try a few things out and post any results. Regular algae scrapers usually work just in forward motion. I would think something that can work forward and backwords may be best. I ordered a peeler and will try a double ended pry bar that I have. Just a matter of trying different things and see what works best.
