question about coraline algae removal

[mogulski]

any one know any tricks to getting behing LR or in tight spots or corners. I use a 2" scraper and a razor but it still wont get all the details. A we know, magnetic algae scrapers dont cut it either. Thanks

I use one of those battery powered dish scrubbers, does a decent job. Dawn makes one thats completely submersible and its safe for acrylic too This is exactly it:

If it's a glass tank, Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. The original one though, not the one with detergent added to it.

On a glass tank, a razor blade always works. Just make sure you use it at an angle.

To lessen the chance of scratching glass, instead of a razor a credit card works fairly well.
I took my urchins out since they were knocking over corals. Granted, these corals weren't tied down.
