Scum

[pirahnafreak13]

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this, but i have a sludgy colored green scum sticking to the side of my tank. What is the best way to get rid of it. I've tried a toothbrush, but that didnt do much. thnx

try a magnet cleaner. Get a Mag-na-float. if they unstick it floats to the top. They're a little expensive, but there fun to play with to. lol.

Congradulations...Sounds like a nice high quality algae.

If the glass cleaner doesn't do the trick, you may have to get your hand wet.

If it's a glass tank you can carefully use a single edge razor blade to scrape it off. Use a plastic scraper if it's acrylic.

Or if you've got the time a few siamese algae eaters .
