Algae removal

What are y’all using to remove the algae that is on the back glass of your aquarium? I use a Mag float for front and sides, but cannot use it for the back.

Flipper magnetic cleaner is the best!

If I had to guess guess I would say the majority of people probably don’t mess with the back glass to much.

Wife does the front with the magfloat and CUC takes care of the rest..

Yeah I don’t normally mess with it but the wife likes it better clean. Happy wife happy life. I can’t have a CUC the fish will eat as snacks lol. My take is a FOWLR.

I reach in with a long handled scraper that has a metal blade (my tank is glass). Kent Marine has a line of scrapers in a number of lengths.

Same here... to me it is a free grazing zone. I have never touched the back glass. I see my tangs nibbling away on the back wall as well.
