Crazy, but what type of algae scrapper would you recommend?

spankey · 08/04/2007, 03:44 AM

In my 75g I normally get the usual glass dust algae and just take a magfloat across the glass from time to time to get it off. That is no biggie, my real pain in the rear is hardened green algae spots.. Not even the biggest magfloat can get it off. No matter how much I use it it doesn't budge. The only thing I can use to get this off is a hand held type blade scraper. The only bad thing about that, is I can only get in certain areas due to rock work and corals. I usually end up hitting corals and breaking them... Great for easy fragging but it becomes a real pain..

Can anyone suggest a good algae magnet with a blade attachment? And if so do others here use them...

Thanks
