Fast and easiest way to remove green spot algae?

Yah, I use a razor on my GLASS tanks only, but it's a recipe for disaster on acrylic. Any sort of stiff (but not hard) plastic used as a scraper will break it off. As for algae scrubbers, make SURE you use the white, NOT the geen kind. For cleaning acrylic tanks I've often used the white filter floss that comes in the big bag all by itself. Takes some rubbing, but does the job with no scratches.
In my 10gl (glass) I take a little pinch of sand and rub it on the GSA and it comes off super easy and super fast. And then it leaves the crays a little alage to pick at in the sand.
I've never messed with acrylic so no idea if this will hurt it. Just my 2 cents.

If you take the advice, you'll note the long term "cure" is in there.
Do that. Cleaning it then, is no longer much of an issue.
Good use for a credit card anyway, better than what they are made for
GSA is pretty easy to control and not deal with.
