Algae

[Steel Curtain]

I’m having trouble scraping algae stuck on my glass near the corners of my tank. I can’t use a razor blade because my tank is rimless and the caulking is on the inside. Is there another way to scrape it off?

Get yourself a set of brushes like the ones above by Oxo. Use that in the corners instead of trying to scrape the algae.

I tried a tooth brush and did not work

You need a stiffer bristle. Those are the exact brushes I use and they work fine for me. A little extra work will be needed on Coraline algae, but it will eventually get it off.

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered a set.

Dip toothbrush in peroxide to assist with removal.

These have worked great for me, make sure that they are chemical free.
