I have a Aquamaxx HOB reactor that I made in to a fuge the same one MD made a video on but with the light being on almost 24-7 a lot of algae started to build up on the walls also the reactor is so long and narrow I can't get my hands down in there is scrub it off. I thought of using some on my Tunze citric acid to help but not sure if that will crack the acrylic. Looking for some advice on what I can put in the reactor to help losen up the algea to get in clean again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I'd personally would do a 1/2 to cup of vinegar and the rest water. Straight vinegar wouldn't hurt though.
