    Hey people, i saw many types of scrubber available and different prices.
    Anyone have a good brand to recommend? Cos my green spot algae getting out of hand and my GAE and SAE no use one leh...
    GOod in the sense it can last long and doesnt scratch the glass. Thats why i dare not buy the cheap ones cos i think use liao will scratch glass. Mi currently using old tooth brush, very very tiring.

    how about using an old credit card or atm card? or those hard plastic calenders? no worries about scratching the glass.
    Cheers,

    Yep a old membership card will do just fine. It beats buying a magnetic brush and/or a scrubber from the LFS.

    I use the green scrub for dishes. works well. just make sure that you do not scrub with the sand inside, should not scratch glass.

    Bought a long pole from lfs before, waste of money.

    Cheap n good... I use the spare blades of a penknife - super effective. There are shops selling scrapers - blade type - abt $10 to $12. Highly effective against spot algae on the glass walls....

    Get the Aquarium Products (Super?) from C328 - w red plastic hand.
    It's modular and comes w 2 interchangeable attachments - black sponge and razor-like aluminium scraper. Cost $10.

    With this gadget, getting rid of stubborn spot algae on front glass is a breeze. I recommend you get 2 so you don't have to change every so often.

    If you still have last time the transit link card, it is better, flexible, confirm wont scratch your glass. I used to use it to wipe my swear and remove my face old.

    Plastic cards work alright, but you will get your hands wet... and that's totally unacceptable to elmike!

    I prefer to use the right tools for professional image. Besides, these tools look good and can even impress as display items at your balcony.
