Every 6 months or so I pull the glass lids off my two acrylic tanks and clean the algae and dust off them. This is a huge pain but it needs to be done. I can’t believe how much light the algae and dirt blocks.
The hardest part of this for me is cleaning the acrylic top of the tank.
I figured out a good solution for this today. I use these large drywall tools to pull the algae towards me. This keeps the algae on the tool and I scrape it off onto a paper towel or something.
I was using a Brillo pad and rubbing back and fourth making a huge mess lol

Anyway I’m probably the only guy that didn’t know how to clean the tops of acrylic tanks but just incase there’s one more of you out there, this is a huge time saver.
