algae scraper help

[magicbuddha19]

has anyone ever heard of a "curved" algae scraper? I have a bow front tank and there is no way to use the algae scraper on the front without sticking my hand all the way in the tank every time. A curved or rounded would be great because it would scratch the tank if i went straight up and down.

Use the one with the pad as opposed to the plastic or metal

It works, somewhat ... Petco sells them too, if you want it locally.

UP... DOWN... BAD! U go Side to Side Daniel-San. On a curved tank side to side is best!

Why? Why is side to side the best and up down sucks? Care to elaborate a bit, please?

So u won't scratch ur curved tank broster

how does this prevent you from scratching the glass?

Just seems obvious if u use a blade on a curved surface the edges would scratch ur tank yung g. but still be carefull even going sideways, practice yung grasshopper.

ok now i got it, but i don't think he is referring to a blade scraper just a regular magnet algae cleaner.
yes if its a blade side to side for curved glass.
