Q: Cleaning algae off acrylic nano

Silly question, but I have a 12 gallon JBJ Nano DX. (don't have this problem in my larger aquariums in which I am cleaning the algae no problem). However, on the 12 gallon DX, I am becoming champion with my magnetic cleaner at picking up sand and scratching the acrylic. Doh. Even when I stay inches away from the sand bed, it's stirring up. So I think I'll have to do it by hand.
Suggetions for good scrapers, sponges, etc... for a tank this size and acrylic?
Thanks..
