using dish washing sponge to clean tank glass
 
Recently i use it on my tank to clean alage. Not long after the silicon of my tank leak. This is second time. Anyone experience this also?

:D honest, I am also using the toilet brush to clean my tanks.

For the corners & delicate areas, use the brushes for baby feeding bottles.

I suspect the hard and sharp green portion can cut the silicon open.

Seems weird that your sponge would scratch and tear the silicon. This is worrying.

I just guess. Maybe it could be i buy second hand tanks. I am going to replace all with new tanks.

No problem so far using them. Been using for years. Cheap and easily available.
