Purple is great, and red algae is a sign that you need to change your tubes
or not enough light.
The other day I bought a scraper that is wide and hold a metal blade that is
renewable!

Yes use a razor blade, however be careful on how much you remove. After I
remove it all from the side and the front (had alot) within one week major
algae build up, I am still trying to get rid of the algae.

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
