Removing spot algae from an Eclipse

[Celimpasa]

On the front of my tank grows an algae. These little spots adhere well and are not easy to remove. The tank is an Eclipse. The spots came of using a piece of plastic as a scraper. I noticed this process left scratches on the plastic tank. Is there a better way to remove this type of algae without damaging the tank?
Thanks

Most LFS. sell algae cleaners for acrylic tanks. I have a 125 gl acrylic tank and I use a magenetic cleaner made by Mag Float I also have a brush type one with a handle that works well also just make sure it says "for acrylic".

Ditto. I have a small white square sponge that is safe for acrylic. I think it was about 2 bucks? Worth it--I use it on my eclipse with no problems.

Although the plastic sponges work pretty well for me on most types of algae on my acrylic I've had to resort to a credit card to get of hard green spot algae.

Best use of the credit card in some time!:D
