Melamine Foam Cleaner with Handle

**jeffteo** · 24th Jul 2012, 00:00

Came across a handy tool at Diaso that is also useful for cleaning the internal glass of our tanks. Always $2 only and works great in removing algae on the glass.
Same thing as those Melamine foam in rectangular block but with handle attached and angle adjustable. Should be found under the household/bathroom section, can't remember exactly where I pick it up from.

Might not be suitable for Acrylic tank as it might scratch the surface. Be warned...

Sorry for the noob question...
Can This be used directly in the tank with live stock?

Great find! No more wet armpits!

Yeah, easier for those with big tanks. With the handle can reach all the hard to reach area like the back.

Get the unscented ones. But if my memory serves me right, melamine sponge are used for acrylic tank rather than glass. Melamine sponge has micro abrasion surface that polishes acrylic but will scuff up metal surfaces. Best thing is to test it at a small spot on your tank away from viewing angle. I read this from a US marine forum.
