I heard people saying they use an old credit card, I tried it but didn't work.. Corraline is too hard for it, so the credit card method failed..
Also the scraper that we use too clean algae from the glass do nothing against corraline.. |

These work for me. If you flip the metal scraper around; the plastic side of the will work just as well as the metal. On acrylic use plastic only.
The finger held scrapers do a good job too. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/Produc...rium%20scraper| |

They make thin, flexible aluminum scraper thingies that do the job. I can get a credit card to work, but it takes a couple of swipes and some elbow grease.

I use a sharp razor blade (glass only) and don't have any problems.

Kent makes a pretty good scraper... there is also an electric one that heats the coraline...

i'll second the razer blade...but make sure you do it very carefully not to scratch.
it takes patience to get this stuff off..
