Stuck inside my own head
I'm looking for a cleaner for my new SW tank I'm setting up, it's a JBJ 28G nanocube. I was going to get one of the small acrylic mag-floats but keep seeing reviews that say they leave micro scratches. Has anyone else experienced this? If so what do you use on your acrylic tanks?
 
I like this WalMart car wash brush. They even have a big one with an extendable handle that I will be using on my big tank when it is set up. I like the rubber around the brush. There is no way the brush (which has very soft bristles) can scratch the tank.

I've heard of people using the inside sponge of Dobie cleaning pads and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers...I actually bought both but haven't gotten around to trying them out.

Right now I have a Magnavore 10 magnet scraper with a felt pad on the wet side and a micro cloth lens cleaner on the dry side.
 
They make scrub pad specifically for acrylic. Just think SOFT when you do it.
And the mag float are def something to avoid. You'll have nasty scratches/haze anywhere it touches.
