How to remove thick coralline algae

[Duncan Tse]

I've been getting lazy trying to remove coralline algae on the corner of my glass but now it has gotten so thick I can't even remove with a razor blade...

Anyone got any ideas?

I find the thicker blades on items such as the kent stainless steel scrapers seem to wrok well. That being said, whatever you use, make sure you're using a pole/stick- it's hard to hold them in your hand an exert enough force for the thicker stuff- easier with them attached. That being said, be careful around your silicone!

That's the one I'm currently using right now but the coralline algae is too tough. Works great on the thinner pieces but not the ones I'm dealing with right now

I use the algae free hammerhead. With a fresh blade it will ruin the thickest Coraline
