How do you keep algae off the glass?

Magnetic thing every few days, and when the coralline gets bad I use a rasor. Im with Bruce, the water turns all pink, and it looks super clean the next day, .

 

I use the magnet for the front glass for when it gets a nice brown dusting. I do this every 4 days or so. Ahhh I use the scraper blade for all the coraline on the front glass and I don't bother with the sides and back anymore because it would take me a year to get the coraline off. I wish there was a magic spell to use on algae but it is natural so what can we do but complain.

 

I use a razor blade to get what my snails missed, nothing else is easier unless you have a ton of snails that do it for you.

 

Easy blade attached to my mag float. Works like a charm and it gets it so clean I only have to scrape once a week ;D

 

Is that something that is a DIY or did you buy it?? Great ideal!

 

Its a bit of both (in my world anything that comes unassembled is DIY ).

Heres the link. Basically you get the "handle" and blade and then superglue it to your magnet scraper (mag float in my case).

I love their ad on the Easy Blade.... "Stop getting your hands wet! Try an Easy Blade today!".
Ha! If you don't like getting your hands wet you are in the WRONG hobby! :laughing0

 

Ya, no matter what you do at one point or another the hands will get wet.

 

Yeah, that's pretty much part of the deal huh.
Guinea Pigs are pretty much a dry hobby. (except sometimes refilling their water bottle)

 

good one christy!
