How do you guys clean the corners of your tank. I don't ever want to get the silicon and scrape it off so the corners I usually just leave and get as close as i can with the magnet/scraper

A toothbrush works well

I use my magnet right over the silicone, it doesnt seem to hurt it any.

I must have a superpower magnet because mine does

I just cut one of those green scuff pads down to the size of a nickle and use my finger.

You can get a cleaning wond that has a cleaning pad on the end of it. That is what I use and it works great. You can get them at you LFS.

+1 on toothbrush. I always get the soft bristle ones. Not sure if it matters though.

The Penn Plax Wizard Pro works well.

That green thing in the center left is a green pad on a 90 degree angle. It gets into corners deep down without getting your hands wet.

I actually have two Sonic Scrubbers. One for the tank and it's equipment and one for other chores around the house. You can purchase the Accessory Kit for $9.99, but when I use it for household chores, I tend to dip the whole unit in chemicals. So, I didn't wanna risk it. It's a very handy lil tool.
