Easy Solution for coralline algae on glass?

[Northstar24]

I've got tons of Coralline growth in my tank, unfortunately its all on my glass and not on my dry rock. I have this tiny little scraper from Kent Marine, but i'd seriously have to scrape for years to get rid of all the growth on my glass. I have mag float, but that just passes over the corraline and leaves it on the glass.

Is there a better type of magnet cleaner or a better / larger scraper I can use? I cant be the only one with this issue...

I use a razor blade but be careful if you have curved glass. I've used a credit card also.

Buy an Easy Blade. It attaches to a Mag Float. I can't live without it.

I bought one, and wondered how I ever lived without it to begin with. No wet hands, glues right on to the mag float.

+1 all - Thanks guys. I'll check for the easy blade at the LFS tonight when I pick up my Mandarin. I need replcaement felt too, the felt on the outside magnet needs to be replaced

how long does it take coralline to grow on the glass? i have it growing a lil bit on rock n sand bed but thats about it

My tank has been up since August of '10, and the overflows and rear pane are solid coralline, and the sides are both pretty well covered. Its growing on the front near the sand line, and thats hard to scrpe without clouded up the whole tank. I wish more of it would grow on my dull, boring, ugly base rock....
