Acrylic algae scraper

[DYIguy]

I use a long handle ss scraper with razor blades for my glass tanks- looking for something for the cube that won't break the bank or scratch the acrylic

For my old acrylic I would just use filter floss to scrub the inside, I'm sure you can rubber band some around a stick

I've used Mr Clean magic eraser, non abrasive dish scrubbers on a stick, neither work great on harder algae- used another kitchen scrubber with a handle with a bit more 'satisfaction' it's the area close to the sand I worry about the most- any/all of these could pick up some sand and scratch the inside- others I looked at either didn't have strong magnets or scratched the outside

I was always so worried about putting a magic eraser in just incase it had some form of chemical. I am sure it was just my paranoia but its the same reason I hate filter socks, possible bleach in the tank worries me but has never caused a problem.

The eraser has so many good reviews on fb ( the original) , but you still have to get your arm wet lol- the dish scrubber on a stick is actually better, but I'd like to find a magnet that works- still/always worried about scratches
