Cleaning Acrylic

[stanfill reef]

I have a JBJ nanocube. Since it is plastic I cannot use my glass scrapers that I use on my reef tank.

I have a plastic Kent Pro-Scraper, but it really doesn't work well (I love my glass version though). Any suggestions for removing coraline from plastic tanks?

I have heard of folks using old credit cards but have never tried it as I have glass.

i have an acrylic tank...use my pro scraper,,it works great...when the hard to remove coraline builds up, nothing short of using elbow grease to remove the build up with an acrylic safe sponge will work...with your nano it shoudn't be that hard to do..

p.s be careful with the edges of the scraper, will scratch your tank easily.....

JBJ nanocubes are glass- except for the back wall, of course. Is this what you're refering to?
