    I find it a right pita to clean my aquarium glass, its 24" deep and i cant get down far enough inside to clean the last 6", i have to use a stick with rough sponge on the end, this is ok to a certain degree but i cant get enough pressure on it to remove those stubborn spots, and cramp sets is pretty quick,

    Any tips would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    If you use a mag float on those hard to reach places every couple days it will usually stay fairly clean. They also have scrappers on sticks as well.

    Basically it's a matter of doing it routinely so the harder to scrape algae do not have a chance to build up.

    there was someone on here that made an interesting scraper with a razor blade on the end to scrape those rough spots......you could try and search on the forum for DIY scrapers........
