a cut peice of blue/white filter floss works perfectly to remove hard brown, green and coraline algeas...works wonders on glass as well! then a magfloat can easily takeover once the hard stuff's been removed...

You can use an old credit card on acrylic tanks to scrape the sides. It works the same as a razor blade on glass tanks but shouldn't scratch the acrylic and takes a bit more elbow grease.
