Best algae scrubber for tough decor

[GodFan]

So in resetting my 25 gallon I had some heavy algae build up. It was on rocks. I tried (at risk of destroying it) to use my magnafloat. Fail. I tried my fingers. Fail. I tried my towel. Fail. Then I tried a handful of wet black diamond blasting sand. IT WORKS GREAT! It took it all off very very effectively. So just a tip!
Thanks and God bless!

A mushroom brush works good too.

Whats that?

Yes, what's that? A brush that is shaped like a mushroom or a brush that is used to clean mushrooms?

I like the wet sand as an abrasive; very resourceful.

It's a soft bristled brush used for cleaning mushrooms before cooking.

+1 on the wet sand, though. Good idea

Yeah, if I have some really hard to clean stuff, I pull it from the tank, drop it in a bathtub full of hot water and scrub with a veggie brush. (That's how I found a red wag that hitched a ride inside of the decor..scooped him out of the tub, dosed him with prime, and he's now named "Lucky").

Odd shaped brushes and sand.
