How to clean bowfront glass?

[ken6217]

How do you clean the inside glass of a bow front tank? The Mag-Float is flat and the glass is not. It does not misses a lot of algae. Does anyone know of a good and easy method or tool to use?

Thanks,
Ken

Try using the magnet vertically in the tank instead of horizontally. It won't have as much of a curve going up an down.

You could also use one of this sponge cleaners on a stick.

I used my "reefgadget" made by RichT on my father's bowbront and it worked great. I wanted to get him one for christmas, unfortunately Rich is taking a break from his acrylic hobby for a while. I bought mine from a local LFS, maybe you can still find one around.

Thanks. I'll see what is in the stores.

Hey Matt, I did pick up a nice RBTA from Ralph.

Even my BioCube 29 is a pain to clean with a magnet. Now i just use a sponge pad and my hand. It sucks.

Sounds like someone here should invent a curved magnetic cleaner and patent it.

I use this http://www.nimblenano.com/ and it works like a charm on the curves of my nano.
