    Pinks, purples and reds look great under the bulb.

    You can just just a utility blade, works much better. (unless you have a acrylic tank)

    It shouldn't scratch the glass, I've used it countless times and don't have any scratches I know of. I remember reading about your magfloat issues, that's really weird for it to do that to glass, in fact, I don't know how that's even physically possible as the scrubber is softer then the glass. Something must have been stuck in it. Anyways, you can try in a discrete area first to see how it works.

    yup i even tried two different brands of magfloats i figured the first magfloat was because it was old and possibly had sand stuck in it, second one was brand new different brand right after it touched the glass, bam mulitple scratches, both are meant for glass too, and i now have some really bad scratches on my front glass, i will never use one again.
