I am glad you brought this up. My pride and joy, a 110 gallon tank,
is riddled with scratches from "non-scratching" scrubber pads. I
don't know if the fibers themselves cause the scratches, or bits of
gravel and sand that might get picked up. In any even, I now use a
razor blade. A friend of mine had a 55 which was several years
old and NO SCRATCHES! She used one of those magnetic deals
which have wire fingers on the business end. I shudder to think
what an acrylic tank would look like in my care!
