I'm getting a little tired of using the Kent Scraper on my tall tanks. It works great but it is only 4" wide. Does anyone have a bigger product they use to clean their acrylic tanks?

I have a mag float (that doesnt float!) rated for 1.25" thickness that I use sometimes but it loses its grip during most cleanings = ( I hate it when it loses grip and falls to the ground, picking up sand and what not.
 
I would find a way to eliminate the algea all together. Limit the time your lights are on. Move the tank away from any sunlight coming into the room.

I use a car wash brush I found at WalMart. The bristles are very soft, and the edge has soft rubber, so there is no way the acrylic can be scratched.

I also got the big brush with extendable handle which should work well on our big tank.
