Gerwin when I was in the store the other day you showed me that (forgot what you called it) the sponge thing you use to clean the acrylic with in the tank, I am guessing that is really good for any algae growth. What do you use to keep the coraline algae off of the acrylic? I would think a Mag Float would scratch the acrylic, I use a razor blade in my glass tank, but I would think that would be a no no with acrylic.Acrylic Tank ??

Acrylic Tank ??
Didn't want to ask to many questions in Rogers tank build thread, so I will ask here Gerwin when I was in the store the other day you showed me that (forgot what you called it) the sponge thing you use to clean the acrylic with in the tank, I am guessing that is really good for any algae growth. What do you use to keep the coraline algae off of the acrylic?

Re: Acrylic Tank ??
they make plastic "blades" for scraping off the coraline algae in acrylic.

Re: Acrylic Tank ??
correct GZ, also credit cards work good, acrylic is harder than most other plastics so using plastic on them is ok , also not letting the algae get so tough to remove is better than waiting a month to decide to clean it
