what is the best glass cleaner?

I saw some extra large ones at Alamo...I forgot how much they were though...give them a call.

Well, I've always stayed away from the expensive tank magnets. Until now that is.

My new (used) 215 brick has 3/4" glass. The cheap ones were not doing it. Just got in the TigerShark today...yep $80 something. The thing is GREAT. Cleaned the whole tank without it detatching from the inner part once!

Further the inner part is super slim so it doesn't bump in to things as easily.

For clean up crew the best place I've found is www.keyscritters.com ask for Corrie in your e-mail. They don't include freight, but you will still come out WAY ahead on cost. She takes orders all week and only ships out on Mondays for a Tuesday delivery. I'd ask for an A.M. delivery if I used them again. They ship regular overnight which can keep you tending the front door for quite a while. Ask for a.m.

Most on RC say 1 Astrea per 2 gallons and 1 cerith per gallon.

Hey, Todd, was looking at the TigerShark earlier. Thanks for the feedback - was wondering if anyone had one....wonder if we could get a group order going???? ^_^

BT - only fish I know of that will eat some of the junk on the glass is an algae blenny. They will leave "kiss" marks from biting at it. I wouldn't count on one to do the job either as they are grazers and like to forage for food around the tank, they will not survive just pecking at the glass.

Crabs and Frags out of Houston also has good pricing on clean up crews. Their pricing isn't quite as good as the folks that Todd mentioned but shipping is probably less and they ARE a sponsor.
