    First. I have been told I can use a razor blade to get coraline off my glass. Do I just use a razor by itself or do you attach it to something to reach the hard to reach places?

    Second. I want to run my skimmer pump through some vinegar. What type of vinegar do I use?

    Thanks.

    I superglued the blade to a stick of bamboo and it works pretty good for me,and you use white distilled vinegar.

    Lowes has some really nice razor blade scrapers by the checkouts for about a buck. They are red and black and have a nice grip on them.
    Second the distilled white vinegar, I use it straight up as it works much faster that way, its only about a buck fifty at WalMart and lasts a long time if you strain it, pour it back in the jug and reuse it over and over.
