Best methods or tools to clean Aquapod

[Baalz]

I've always had glass tanks, but recently set up an Aquapod for a spawning pair of clowns. What are some good tools to clean one with? I'm having a hard time cleaning off coralline compared to when I do glass. Best I have used is a credit card.

PremiumAquatics.com has CPR algae pads that are freakin' awesome ... I just bought 12 @ $.75 each!

You can also use an old credit card to clean the glass from stubborn algae. I have an Aquapod 24G and I use one to keep the stubborn algae off of my tank. It works well and it is Free! Also, it does not scratch it, as the Aquapod is glass.

I just saw that you know & have used the credit card technique. Sorry

You mean my Aquapod is glass not acrylic? Dang I thought they were acrylic.

Yep they're glass!

Yeah I emailed the manufacturer asking. I cant imagine why I thought it was acrylic. But oh well .. I did.

Any tips for keeping the rounded corners and glass right on top of the substrate clean in the 'pod?

this might sound cheap. but that right up my alley.
i use a plastic rod cut off from a straight portion of a coat hanger. its not the flat type. on the end i use a chunk of filter floss and i rubberband it to the rod. it also gets into the chambers very well.

If you do it often enough so hard stuff doesn't grow, a toothbrush works great for the rounded corners. That's what I use.
