Scratches
Has anyone else's magnetic cleaner caused scratches on your glass tank? I am assuming some peices of sand go caught between and scratched it.

Re: Scratches
Yes!! you have to be really careful not to pick up sand. My husband learned that the hard way after we switched from cc to sand.

Re: Scratches

Re: Scratches
Yea it really stinks because my tank is just the right size for the wall it is on and unless I special order one they dont make a five foot any more. I hope you dont have any. We didn't notice them right away but the algea shows up there first and is really hard to get out.
