How to clean glass?

[Robert Binz]

My scrubber doesn’t have enough force to Remove the really strong green algae on my glass. What sponges or other tools do y’all buy for scrubbing the glass in those tough spots?

Mr clean original magic eraser is my go to now.

In addition to my MagFloat, I use JBF Aquarium blades with a 6" scraper. I generally wash my hand with Hydrogen Peroxide before I scrape any algae off the glass. The algae comes off in small chunks or sheets rather than violently atomizing the algae on the glass and creating a cloudy mess. JBF Aquarium blades are Stainless Steel and will last about 3 cleans per blade if you rinse them in RO/DI after use. You will need the blade pack (of 25) and a clean angled 6" scraper handle. They will not nick the silicone on the tank as the blades are shorter on both ends to account for the silicone. I hate to sound like a commercial, but these blades and scraper work way better than anything else I've used.

I have a mag float with the scraper attachment and it works wonders for me. Allows me to get close to the sand and clean the whole tank without scratching the glass and getting my hands wet. I would definitely recommend that and then a handheld scraper as mentioned above for the deeper cleanings where you are trying to clean the whole tank. The scraper will even remove coralline algae. Just make sure to get one size up from the size they recommend for your glass thickness if possible so that the magnet works well.
