Melamine Foam Cleaner with Handle
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... |

No need la. Just buy the foam and clean the tank the old fashion way, hand in the water.

For normal melamine foam, I find that it starts to get smaller when using it... Kinda like an eraser. When this foam with handle wears out, possible to get replacement? Or need to buy the entire set again?

i've been using the foam for my household chores and i also notice that the foam get smaller as we use them. it seems like the foam reacts with the water to make it a form of solvent to clear the stains.
so the question is, is this "solvent" safe for aquarium use? also, the word melamine gives me the creeps. remember the milk powder incident? |

I have been using this foam for years. So far so good in all my tanks.

I think the foams gets smaller is because we squeeze it. Nothing is drop off but the foam bubbles in it collapse.
