I will be starting an upgrade from my Eclipse system 12 gallon acrylic tank with cc substrate to a 30 gallon seaclear acrylic tank. I clean the tank weekly using a small piece of microfiber towel to scrub the inside walls. I clean all four walls because this an Eclipse system and the new tank will be the same. I bought carribsea fine sand substrate for the new tank but realized that when i try to clean at the substrate level with fine sand........... scratch city. Any suggestions? I could build a 2" cc border around the walls and sand in the middle? Just use cc? Not clean so close to the bottom (not a preferable option). I love acrylic but WILL not scratch it. Any suggestion will be apreciated.
