    Mag-Float :)
    Seriously, make that your next purchase. Probably the best $20 you can spend on the tank maintenance wise ;)

    I agree, Mag floats are wonderful products.
    There are acrylic mag floats also available

    I use a magfloat and I have a short and long metal scraper for the harder stuff.

    Sound's as if your not sure if it is sand or something else? Is this something day and night? If it is night possible pod's?
    If it is day time also, Get your credit card out, If you dont have one borrow Steve's and while you have it get a Mag-Float :)
    Good Luck Puffer Chick....

    it's like a lot of smears on the inside of the tank, and i think it's from the powerheads kicking up the sand. And i see it during the day, and it's still there at night. I would love for it to be copepods though, i still haven't seen any, or any worms

    :lol:

    Anyways, for inside of the tank, magfloat. For smears on the outside, normally caused by water getting between the external part of the magfloat and the glass, paper towels work wonders :)

    Don't you just love her? :lol:

    Definitely a Mag-Float, since Mr. Head/Desk no longer cooperates!

    I use a magfloat to clean the inside of the glass and those micro fiber towels work wonders for the outside of the tank

    Mag Float... a necessity. Outside glass... some good old papertowels and windex.

    Unfortunatley with the mag float it doesnt clean the corners that well. But I just purchased the sonic scrubber so i dont have to mess with the silicone seal when I scrape with a plastic card. Hopefully it works well. Only $10 at walmart.
