Cleaning a Tank

[nerdelish]

Hi everyone,

I try to give my tanks a good scrub with my mag float and an aquarium dedicated sponge once a week. Usually this does the trick of staving off any algae build up on the glass.

However, today I noticed that the corners of my tank have a green line near the silicone. Does anyone have any tips on cleaning this? I know some people use razor blades but I am sort of a klutz and worried about a) cutting myself and b) hurting my silicone seal

I always just use my fingertip for any of the corners or anything that close to the silicone.

I use a toothbrush for tighter fits

Thanks for the replies! I will probably try combo of the suggestions.
