Hi! Anyone have good ideas on removing the tiny hard algae off the glass front of my 29 BioCube? Sponge and magFloat have not been that successful. Lots of algae eating snails, I don't have much algae anywhere else. The algae on the glass is like cement.
Thanks, for any advice.

Go to Local hardware store and get a razor blade with handle.

I've heard about a credit card, razor is best though.

I use credit cards on the sides of my tank. Takes coraline off pretty easily. Not so scared of scratching anything, just more convenient to break a credit card in half that expired rather than paying for a razor blade on a handle. I'd rather spend money on something more important.
 
Thanks! I can get the razor blade on a handle from my work :) i'll try it, credit cards have worked somewhat, but not as well as I would like.
