Buy a razor glass scraper available in all paint departments (and in dollar stores). It will remove both dead and live algae without scratching the glass.

Fill the tank with just plain water until the algae softens, then wipe it off. Easy, no chemicals or soap residue to worry about.

Try scrubbing it with a baking soda mixture, a little water and baking soda. If your mixture is too thick add more water as you go. I would use a soft scrubbing sponge. The baking soda will rinse out and you don't have any chemicals that will remain in the tank once it's rinsed well. Good luck with your scrubbing! :-)

Just use a sponge and scrub it off. No soap or detergents, could use a small amount of bleach with water, just be sure to rinse it very good. Then when you're done rinsing, rinse it again.

CLR is a chemical you can buy at any store. (Calcium, Lime, Rust) Removes calcium deposits from glassware, decanters and tea or coffee pots. Instantly removes lime scales from coffeemakers, humidifiers, tubs, toilets and sinks. Instantly removes rust stains from brick, stucco, porcelain, chrome and metal. But make sure you wash it with soap and water afterwards REALLY GOOD or your gonna kill your fish. I used it it works really well.

A clean rag and table salt (without iodine) will do the best job, is the safest and the cheapest.

Call your local pet store to see if they can offer any suggestions. Any residue of chemicals may cause your fish and such to die.
