Has anybody experimented with using the nylon pot scrubbing pads often sold in grocery stores? The ones that I an thinking about are green in color, about 3/16" thick and about 4" x 6" and have no soap or other materials mixed in.

Unless somebody says 'Done it, don't bother' I think I'll set up a small test tank and give it a go, see if it grows goo and report back.

Dont know how suitable they would be but one word of warning.

I have read that such items are coated in fungicide which will have an adverse affect on your tank.

If you do use them wash them well!
