    My favorite is a magnetic lettuce clip. The one currently on the market does not work on thick glass so in my last tank I made one by super gluing a clip to a magnetic glass cleaner. Worked like a charm.

    My current tanks are acrylic so I didn't want to use that method due to wear and tear on the tank. Instead I made the contraption below that hangs in the tank and comes in and out super easy.

    Absolutely :) I am a picture person too, for some reason I just never had taken any. Well you are in luck! Hope this helps like I said attached to the tooth overflow with zip ties.. and a rubber band on the out let of my skimmer.

    I have to say that a long plastic stick, with a plastic fork zip tied to the end is my favorite. That sucker can reach anywhere that I cant, especially when I dropped my xenia frag and couldn't reach between the rocks to grab it....IT WAS RIGHT THERE!!!! lol
