Safe Sponge for tank wipe-downs?

No, that's not the one. I think you may have to ask for this one. I just dug it out of aAttachment 85490 box.

Cool. Jehmco sells them ? It looks like it will scratch the glass ?

Algae scrubber pad with swivel handle adapter. Does not include the handle extension and I don't see the handle listed. You will probably have to ask for that.

I just talked with Jehmco and they don't have the short handle only a 6' handle. Kraig, what size handle do you have on it? I guess I could get the 6' and cut it down?

Get a swiffer sweeper and bam, you got yourself the same contraption, just don't use the swiffer pads!

Will the algae scrubber you posted scratch the aquarium?

The pad will not scratch glass. But if you were to get some sand in it I think it would. I used a 1 inch pvc pipe from lowes. Not schedule 40 though. The thin wall pipe is what works best. I had to drill two small holes for the spring loaded pins. I hope this helps.

Larry, I believe I did get the 6' handle but I think I used two handles. One much longer then in my picture for my 150s and 220s.

Which sponge are you referring to ? Can you post a pic ?

The first post in this thread has 3 pics of the sponge and packaging

Good point

I usually siphon out large debris and bring the tank down 1/4 from full. Helps keep me from splashing water all over the place.
