Say for example, if you have a posterboard black background - would it still work over the posterboard, or would you have to take it down to use it? |

The only brand I've tried though that seems to work well is MagFloat... All the other ones just seem sort of crappy in comparison. ![]() I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |
littlemousling![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Conchiform Posts: 5230 Registered: 23-Aug-2003 ![]() | Definitely worth having - but get the right size (or a size up) and remember that if you only use them when there's lots of algae they may not be helpful - better to use them on a regular basis to prevent algae gaining a hold. Since they're so easy to use, it's not asking much to scrub twice a week or even daily. -Molly Visit shelldwellers.com! |

And the newer models that have the ability to float are great. When they first came out it was always a pain to pull them out of a deep tank when the inside one broke free. |
