Scraping coraline off glass?

[sprang]

Whats the best way of getting coraline off glass? The mag-float isn't cutting it. Any ideas?

I just use a flat piece of hard plastic.

Kent makes a scraper (various lengths available) with a stainless blade. Goes through coraline like "butta". I've got one.
Magnavore makes a good "mag float style" scraper, but they're pretty pricey.

i just took a razor blade and scraped it off

I have a stainless steel pancake turner dedicated to the tank. Lets me scrape behind the rocks where my hand or the magfloat won't fit. Obviously it's a glass tank

I dont like the mag-float because I have kids. My buddy has four boys and his tank now looks like crap because of all the scratches. His boys will get too close to the sand and get it stuck in the magnet and scratch all over the inside of the tank.

You can purchase a razor scraper from most paint departments, just be careful not to cut with the outside edges of the blade as they can leave scratches in the glass where algea's good and bad can get a hold and grow.
