ALGAE SCRUBBER??
yeah so everyone has the magnetic floats to clean off the glass but the front of my tank is round, (1/4 of a circle) so the blocked magnetic scrubbers wont work, what do i use????

How about a thick abrasive blue foam pad attatched at the end of a 20" handle...I see them in almost any pet store. =P Happen to own one actually..in addition to the 3 mag-a-floats..

get the smallest mag float you can find...............mine is only like an inch wide and 2-1/2 inches tall...............the narrower the float the more surface contact you'll have with the glass................also there are "socks" you can stick the inside magnet in that will contour better as well....they mainly use em on acylic tanks so they don't scratch as bad
the scrubber on a stick is a good idea as well...........i just like the mag because it's easy and it stays in the tank rather than hanging in my stand getting cat hair and who knows what else on it before i stick it back in my tank

i have a circular tank i have no probs with the mag float at all. its the large rectangle one not the square one .and dont waste your money on the bio orb egg shaped one, they dont work unless you have the orb bowl.
