My mag float seems to take care of the buildup. I hit the glass about once a week.

I only scrape off the front glass, and then only about once a month. I leave the sides and back alone.

We use a ReefGadget to get our glass clean and we do that once or twice a week. It takes care of any coraline on the front and sides before it has a chance to take hold so there's never any to really scrape.

If your magfloat is taking it off then its not likely coraline. My mag wont touch it. Has to be scraped.
