redsea reefer · 07-03-2009, 03:52 PM

The title say's it all...Im asking cause I don't want to put any scratches in it trying to clean it off...Thanx in advance.....

I use a razor blade.Just take your time.

I don't know about the RSM (don't own one yet) but in the rounded corners of my Nano-Cube I use a "Magic Erasor" by Mr Clean. Perfectly safe and does a GREAT job unless it's REALLY thick and heavy. Then it's SCRAPER time!!

I just use a stainless steel tablespoon.

You use the magic erasor in the water?I thought there were chemicals in the magic eraser..

zenzence · 07-03-2009, 06:13 PM

Magic Eraser!!! Really I just looked on package no list of chemicals. Just some warnings concerning abrasions. I am going to check out their web page maybe give them a call.

zenzence · 07-03-2009, 06:17 PM

Ok just checked it out no chemicals in Magic Eraser!

Here is link to Proctor and Gamble Material Safety Data Sheet

BigAl07 You have had no problems with using this product in your tank? Any scratching of the glass?

Thanks

I work in the product safety area of my company now (chemical company), and read and review MSDS several times a day, and I don't see any hazardous chemicals listed. The MSDS looks pretty safe, but I personally wouldn't put it in my tank. This part bothered me a bit: "Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of carbon, oxides of sulfur, aromatic compounds, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide." But, I think this most likely refers to releases if the material was burned. The product was obviously not designed to clean the inside of a SW tank, but BigAl07 hasn't seen any problems using it.

interesting reefmack thanks for input

redsea reefer · 07-03-2009, 09:13 PM

thanks everyone! I'll try the blade and the spoon...

I've been using magic eraser pads to clean algae off my tanks for years now, and it works like a champ. I highly recommend them.

Frankie · 07-03-2009, 10:51 PM

Ditto on the Eraser. A lot of aquarium keepers use them. I have not but if BigAl uses one I would feel safe also then.
Nice avatar Terry!
