Just thought it was funny when I looked over and saw the ladder. Even with that I still can't get the bottom few inches. I have tried the pads on the stick but it takes a lot of force to get the algae off. Anyone else got an easier way?

Get a bigger ladder, and also learn how to spell it ?

Maybe try to make a diy algae thing with less flimsy materiel, or try one of those magnet erasers. Beautiful tank, btw.

You don't have any plants so turn off your lights when not looking at fish or lower the intensity until algae doesn't grow.

I bought the biggest one they had it was a couple hundred dollars But it did not work For some reason it takes a lot of Strength to scrub this algae off Even if I scrape it with a credit card it doesn't come all the way off.
 
Snails? Acrylic or glass? Check out the Algae Free magnets.

Why does BRS recommend this? With properly sized magnets and now includes the scraper attachment, Algae Free has made one of the best algae scrapers in the industry. Most of their value is the fact all of them (except the Great White) do float if the connection through the aquarium is lost for...

I bought 400 snails and all they did was make white dots all over my tank. It is acrylic if it was glass it would not be that bad. A magic eraser is the only thing I found that works very well but it puts little scratches in the tank. If I was to do it all over again I would get a glass tank and just hire movers,because the weight was why I went acrylic but it scratch to ez.
