Welcome to R2R Addy!

The scrubber in the picture can be used to remove the algae growth on the glass.

Welcome to R2R!!! How do you mean only one side was cleaned, are you referring to just the outside of the tank?. If so the the inside part of the scrubber in the picture may need to be flipped around allowing the blade to touch the glass.

Mag cleaner is good if build up isn’t to bad. If it doesn’t come off easy, you’ll need a scrapper or sponge and some elbow grease.

You’ll probably need to do a water change after to, if it release to much junk into the water. Part of a weekly routine.

Are you talking about the left and right sides, if so then you will probably need a scrapper as said above as it’s looks pretty thick.

and a net to sweep and catch excess algae

Welcome!! As everyone stated pic has a scrubber that will work. If it's real bad get a scrubber with a handle to apply pressure.

The scrubber in the pic doesn’t do the job the algae seems to be very hard but it does stop it from forming early on

Maybe even not try to clean all at once. It does look like a lot. Tied to water changes most highly recommended.

I’ve been using this and I stopped bc it’s putting out a lot of junk and Idk how to change the water

Glass tank? 30 mins to an hour with a razor blade and it'll look like new!

Scrape a little off at a time, if its coraline or hard to scrub algae, use the scraper you posted above and remove little bits daily.
