How are you removing the algae off your glass

[Deezill]

i make it a habit to never go near seam with a blade i don't want any mistakes lol

I use a plastic paint scraper -- it works well on coraline algae and it floats.

I just want to keep hands out of the water.

I love this idea too. I don't like to put my hand in the tank when things are doing so well like now.

You know it is a special day when @vetteguy53081 stops by to make a post in your thread
Does that have razor attachment? What's the price on that? I was looking for the cheaper option lol.
I used a mag-float with my 150 and it did ok but the green algae stuck to the glass was hard to remove with it.

I have paired a Mag Float with a MagSleeve Algae Magnet Inside Sleeve. Using this combo with my drill attachment I have been able to remove a two year build up of coralline algae from my acrylic tank side panels without scratching it.

Was over $400.....its for a thick tank.
Although Flipper is one of the good ones, I really liked the Tunze strong ALOT !!!

 

[Deezill]

Flipper is winning. Anyone else? I know folks have algae tell me what you guys are using.

 

[Deezill]

I think I am close to making a decision. I might go Flipper. What do you guys think? I need the razor option.

 

[Michael Gray]

I use the flipper. But have the tunze strong on order with the float attachment. Reason is to test it in seams to see if it's better on the silicone

 

[AmaleeC]

I use one of these. BEST $6 I ever spent.

Be aware it doesn’t float.

On my 210g acrylic I have the Mighty Magnet along with a couple atachments (bag and coralline scraper). It is fantastic.
On my 40g/20g Magfloat, on my 6g the Flipper nano.

I also use a magic eraser when needed on any tank and a hand scraper for my tanks.

 

[Deezill]

I like Mr. CLean Magic erase but the hard algae in the corners get on my nerve.
