Best acrylic cleaner pad?

Hi all,

Been looking at the Flipper, and Might Magnet, I am sure there are others. What would be good choices for a 250G to make it fast and easy for the wife when I am away on travel?

I inherited the Kent ABS and have a small Flipper with ABS places. Heard old credit cards work well also.

Aware that you can not get even a grain of sand in it. Saw many videos on how to clean tanks using the last swipe on the bottom.

I have the flipper for my 75g tank, works well on algae I've had so far. I don't have any coraline algae on the acrylic so can't review it on that yet

As long as you stay away from anything with chemicals, it is all good. It is best to go with a product that is supposed to be used with acrylic aquariums

These may not have been designed specifically for use on acrylic tanks, but they work great. Seriously, I can't recommend them enough. The original one only, though, without any chemicals. A search on RC will show it's a popular choice for acrylic tanks
