What’s a tang........ lol
There will be several tangs in there. Challenge I face now is a cleaning magnet and a veggie clip that will work with 1” thick acrylic

Cleaning magnet is easy. Buy some scuba diving gear and get in that tank! ;Hilarious;Hilarious;Joyful;Joyful

Funny is- i have scuba gear. Openings on the top are only 18” x 18” each.
I need a magnet that will not scratch also.

Tunze cleaning magnets are the best.
They come with stainless steel blades that can easily be removed for use on acrylic. And even then they still remove coralline from glass.
