Magic Erasers?

SamS · 04/07/2016, 12:46 PM

Has anyone ever used one of these to wipe down the inside of a tank? I've seen them used in a local pet store by me and the employees say they work amazing but they only have freshwater, so I'm not sure how they would be in saltwater.

I use them on my tank all the time and they work great.

jminick2 · 04/07/2016, 12:58 PM

yes its fine just make sure you get the original. you don't want the one with extra stuff in it.

Nina51 · 04/07/2016, 01:12 PM

I slice them lengthwise into 3 sheets and and put under my mag cleaner. Will even take of some coraline algae.

Stick with the original name brand Magic Erasers.
I bought some store brand knockoffs last week. When I opened the box, the smell was nauseating. I can't imagine using them in my tanks.
I like the idea of slicing and using under the magnet cleaner. Giving that a try today.
