Does anyone have any suggestions on tools to help get this algae that gets stuck along the bottem of my tank I’ve tried a few tools and still can’t seem to find one that really works good.

Also the back glass continues to grow this fuzzy stuff on it so I need something to help get that off too. I’m not sure what it is either if anyone has any ideas or what it could be that’s growing on the back glass
 
I never clean the back glass. I found a long handled scraper best for getting to the algae near the sand. Be careful of all seams if you do use a blade.
IME there will always be something growing on the glass. If I want mine clear it needs to be cleaned every 2- 3 days.
 
When getting in the tank to clean up the corners or along the seams, I use plastic razor bladed and a little elbow grease. Works very well.

I have so much algae growing in the corners and back of my tank that I could make a nice salad. I like it and hope it keeps growing. Some of it is 2" long. 😎



 
This works well for corners. I use it all the time. Just replace blade often as the salt water destroys them.
I use this one but there are several types on ebay.
I dont touch my back walls as they get covered in coralline or acros I glue to the back, lol.
