Cleaning the inside glass...?

[willlovesfish]

Hello all, I am wondering what you do/use to clean the inside of your glass. I like to keep my clean/clear and alge free. I have been using a glass sponge type scruber. I recently purchased a kit made by Tetra that includes a wand and special wipes that clean alge and keep it from coming back so soon. I am worried however the chemicals in the wipes may be no good...? I am thinking of just taking it back. Wondering how else some of you clean your glass?
Thanks,
Will

I use a mag-float every day and a razor blade once a week to keep mine clean.

I use 1 part algae scrubber pad & 2 parts elbow grease.

Mag-Float for routine algae and a Kent Pro-Scraper for coralline.

I wouldn't use the wipes. Probably kills beneficial bacteria.

Thanks for the tips all, very good. I have a good feeling you are correct the wipes could kill good bacteria. I will take them back for sure.

No matter what you use make sure you do not pic up any abrasives from inside your tank and have them wedge between your cleaner and glass as it will scratch it

Mag float and a metal bladed aquarium scraper

I seem to see the Mag Float and razar blad option a lot. Thanks for the tips. I will make sure to keep abrasives away so I don't scratch my glass.
Thanks,
