Mr Clean Magic Eraser

[rjd0521]

Saw threads about the magic eraser on acrylic tank and decided to give it a try. All I can say is WOW. It work like a charm. Removed the toughest diatom and other algae like nothing. It was effortless. I tried everything from magna float to acrylic scrubs and nothing worked. Without pressure the magic eraser remove everything and my tank looks like a million bucks.

To all that have trouble removing algae, try the magic eraser.

Yeah, heard that from reef threads podcast too but never tried it.

I've read that it works. I've read it killed corals. I've read it doesn't work. I'm to scared to try it. I use a credit card to clean mine every other week.

I'd love to see more people's opinion though that have used it!!

Wait.... don't those things have bleach or is your tank empty?

 

[coral acquisition]

I think the original is plain, no bleach.

what about the crud that dissolves into the water, how will that affect livestock including SPS.

 

[coral acquisition]

You have to get the Original Mr Clean Magic Eraser. It does not contain any chemicals.

All it is is melamine foam.

Everything, including corals, looks fine.

WWWhaaaaat?
I'm so using that on my dingy (or dingi??) crudy sump.

I use it and it does clean up the acrylic pretty good. You do have to use the original though, it doesn't contain any soaps or chemicals.
What I do is, I slice each brick into 1/4 sheets so I can put it between my mag float and clean the glass without getting my arms wet. Then I just toss the sponge when I'm done.

Ive been using them for a while now, almost a year with no il effect. I buy the cheap ones from the 99 cent store that are the off brand. Just be sure to use the white side and not the side with the scrubby on it. I keep softies, LPS, and SPS and none of them are affected by it. It will not clean off coraline algae but a old credit card works great on it. Good luck.

I use them and they work great, no problem.

Thanks for the info. I'll be picking one up tomorrow to clean my tank now that its drained

 

[rjd0521]

Done it again last night and it worked perfectly again.

Wow! How am I just hearing about this?! I have to give the mag float mod a try

 

[westminsterfrag]

Do we need to was or rinse it before using?

 

[rjd0521]

Nope. Just put it in the tank right away and start cleaning. Just make sure it is the Original Magic Eraser.
