Keeping glass clean?

[Burchoid]

What are the best practices for keeping the glass free of coraline, algae, etc? I have one of those grey float magnetic scraper deals, but it only removes the film of algae from the glass. I have all sorts of snail eggs, coraline alage, and some finer green algae is in some corners that seems "hard" and won't come off.

I thought of grabing a razor blade and some kitched gloves perhaps, but wanted to see what you guys do or use to keep the glass looking clear! The tank would look so much better with crystal clear glass!

Thanks in advance

What I can't get off with my magfloat, I use a razor blade for the harder stuff. As you know be careful around the corners with the silicone.

as long as its glass and not acrylic just use a long handled razor blade. they make some nice 4" wide ones you can get in the paint department at walmart. and there cheap. they make quick easy work out of cleaning the glass.
