I don't know about you guys but I would rather not put formaldehyde in my tank. Formaldehyde can be toxic and anti bacterial.
Formaldehyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a false rumor, ya need to brush up on your chemistry some. Its not Formaldehyde. Its Formaldehyde-Melamine-Sodium bisulfite copolymer.......ie its a polymer. Kind of like how Sodium is EXTREMELY dangerous but Sodium Chloride is in just about everything you eat.


Ive used the magic eraser for a while on a couple tanks and it does keep the algae from growing back as quickly.

Interesting idea- I might have to try it out!

BTW... what's with everyone citing Wikipedia? It's not the most reliable place for factual information...

I don't use them for my tanks, but do use them elsewhere in the house. The only thing that I've found it wont touch is the hard water stains and soap "scum" or build-up on glass shower walls.

I've also been using them for months now and absolutely love them on my acrylic tank. Especially working my way around my vortech pumps. You all know that you cant manage the usual magnet type scrubber around those pumps, but with the eraser its no problemo. I started using them when ladipyg first posted and haven't found anything close to keep your acrylic clean.

Kraylen used it on all our tanks in the shop and I must say, it works pretty dang well. We like it so much we bought few more packs that night after the shop closed and also got the stronger version of it to try. Neat scrubbers and works really well on stubborn algae.
