Coraline on Acrylic

[michealprater]

What do you use to get it off. I am having a heck of a time, I usually use a credit card, but I am hoping there is something that is more effective.

I use a tootbrush, FWIW. Never tried anything else though so I could be doing it the hard way.

The LFS sell acrylic safe scrappers.
That's what I used to use.
Takes some time and elbow grease though.
Make sure you don't get the grease in your water...

Im around but I dont think anyone wants to see pictures of my tank. Mike the one word of advice I can give you is dont let it get bad once it is there it is a pita. Get a bunch of your friends over and get about 30 plastic scrappers and go to town.

Worst part is I have no front access. I have no clue where to buy cabinet doors so I can cut them in. Not sure if I can swallow my pride and let fellow reefers see it.

A guy in our club suggested a plastic light switch plate. Alot sturdier than a credit card and kent scrapers. I tried it with my old 55 gallon and it was a breeze!

Would a piece of acrylic work it one edge was ground at a 90 like a putty knife

I will host something sometime. Without front access it is pointless right now, and my basement is not finished.

Intriguing idea!

 

[michealprater]

The plastic light switch plate was a great idea. Works very well!
