How to clean the glass?

[Notsolostfish]

okay i never expected myself to ask this question buy my tank is 7 months old. Covered in coralline algae. I have a tunze magnetic cleaner. But its soooo hard to clean the coralline algae off the glass with it it takes literally hours. I was happy at first with coralline algae but now its a lot of work. My tank is waterbox deep so i cant use credit card. Any suggestions?

The metal blade included is good for coraline.

Fixed with a new one. They have plenty of kits like this on amazon

Now that I looked that kit doesn't include the metal edge. Gives you an idea what to look for on Amazon though

It really can be a pain. Just clean a section at a time using a metal scraper, but be careful to not scratch the glass... If you go slow and make sure the blade sits evenly on the glass, you should be fine. Getting frustrated and accidentally gouging the glass with the corner of the blade is possible... Ask me how I know, lol

I had a lot algae on my glass and I got a Mexican turbo snail and he cleared up my glass fast.

Turbos don't eat coralline.
