[Sleepy22]

Its been growing like crazy on the rounded edges on my bio-cube and the regular scraper I have makes me feel like im going to scratch the glass.....any better ideas on how I can get it off easy??

Credit card, razor blade or plastic scraper

Plastic scraper or credit card. I have a marred up biocube because the previous owner.

No razor blade. The glass on biocubes or nano cubes scratch easily.

Yup,also don't go up and down. Get your hand in there and go side to side around the corner

Razor blade works the best, i use it on glass and back wall (plastic) comes off perfect.

All it takes is uneven pressure, a flaw in the blade or sideways movement to scratch acrylic with a razor blade. Can it be done, yeah. Just like a 10 gal reef tank can be done, just requires more attention and skill.

It takes just one wrong scraping angle to scratch that bent glass. Coming from my experience with my office tank.

I like my Rubbermaid Reveal Power Scrubber -- a waterproof, electric toothbrush on steroids.

+1 for razor blade. but beware of the plastic for sure. scrub too hard and it'll come off the back of biocubes and jbjs
