I have on my on the glass of my tank, the purple algea that is produced from
live rock (sorry I dont know the real name of it) I understand that is this
good stuff that the rock produces, however, it's on the front of my tank and
its begining to obstruct the view of my tank.. I tried using a Magna Float
to remove it, but to no avail. Can anyone offer me a safe way to remove it
from the glass?

Thanks


Hey,

I believe it is called coraline algae, although I am certain there is a
more scientific name to it. For cleaning, I typically take a razor
blade to the glass for the stuff that will not come off. I have not
seen any problems in doing this. Hope this helps, and I am sure someone
with much more experience than me can provide an even better answer!
