what can I get that would eat up GSA? It's a relativly small tank at 20 gallons and I have no way to get rid of my Gold Barbs so there isnt much room as far as space for whatever I get.

I found to get it off the glass easily use a credit card to scrape it off, I don't know how well it would work on an acrylic tank but does work pretty good on a glass tank.
One complaint people have about nerite snails is they lay eggs on glass and the eggs are rather hard to get off.
