So I've neglected the back pane of my tank and it's has a ton of coralline algae on it. Besides a metal scrapper, what other ways can i remove the coralline?

Scrapers sometimes have too wide a blade when it is really bad, a razor blade and some patience works when mine gets neglected. LARS is tough on tanks! Lazy A$$ Reefer Syndrome:)

I agree with [MENTION=3580]pciscott[/MENTION] disposable razor blades are the easiest way to remove heavy build up. You can be like [MENTION=654]lowbudget[/MENTION] and snort the coralline after it gets worked with the razor as well =)

I definitely suffered from LARS lately.

I've gotten a lot off but was just wondering what everyone else has been using

Let's see your tank so we know what your talking about... from like 4 feet away.
As soon as you get your tank running, I'll get you that picture.
