What else cleans the algae off the tank glass?

[Magnus]

I know turbo snails will, but they'll also eat every algae off of my LR which I don't want. But I'm getting a bit of algae growth on the insides of my tank glass. Should I just scrub it off for now? Or is there something else that will clean it but not strip my LR?

A cleaning magnet?

Snails will eat algae off the glass, but not enough to keep it "clean".

AND it has a decorative oak finish! I'm sold!

Actually we used to have one for our fresh water tank...worked well. Thanks Kurt.

I had my reef 10 yrs and still get that dusty look on the glass. It`s just part of reef keeping. As kurt said a mag float is the best.

I agree with the mag float. I used to use a Marine scrapper and it rusted....

I got one of the magnetic scrapers. Worked like a charm! Thanks again!
