Hi Paddy have you though of using a shop vac to clean up those annoying dinosaurs? My kids constantly throw those everywhere and I found when I sucked them up I never seen them again. Shop vacs also work great for slimy messes you don't want to clean up with a rag.
Another alternative would be a wife that forces you to shut down your tank. But that's a whooole different ballpark.
I hope this helps with your problem because I like to help out where I can.
