evilc66 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 This is perfect for tiny tanks. Nice one mew. Link to comment

jeremai Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I made one today from a razor and a chopstick. I used my normal scraper for the vast majority of the glass (it's wider than the razor), and your design for the tight spaces. great for small nanos, esp since my rock is up close to the glass. there's a market for a micro scraper, imo. and if you design and sell one, I want royalties!

mew Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 just remember to dry them after, which i never do. which is why mine's rusty. Link to comment
jeremai Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 lol, I only had mine in the tank for like twenty minutes total and it was already starting to rust. Link to comment
mew Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 You can also cut up an old credit card, punch a hole in it, and do the same thing with it. Link to comment
Marteen Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752195 cheaper, works perfectly. just saying. How is that cheaper than $.25? Razorblade = $0.16 Toothpick = $0.01 Aquamend = $0.08 Link to comment
Sushi Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Did it this weekend in some hard to reach places - sure beats the hell out of getting my arm wet up to my elbows Pretty effortless, only thing is you have to get the angle right when scraping but if your "skewer" is flexible, and you hold it just right... it pushes down with enough pressure to get coralline off rather easily. Also, I was lazy and did mine without the Aquamend - it worked out pretty well. Link to comment
mew Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 nice, getting tank walls cleaner since 2009. The Aquamend solves the angle and pressure problem. Link to comment
KrayzieVanh Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hahaha... I was about to go out and buy a scraper too. Sweet idea... and I have everything laying around too. Thanks! Link to comment
mew Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 i made a new one with a small petco card, and i was going to post pics, but i can't find my camera.... this one won't ever rust, as small as the razor one, but it's not quite as good as the razor. Link to comment
