This thing is bar none the best purchase I have ever made for my reef (and that's saying something since I've got a lot of <ahem> German products) :

Just slap it on the back over your magfloat and coraline disappears!

I have that, and can say it works excellent on my glass. From what I can remember, it is not recommended for acrylic

Unfortunately it won't work for my acrylic tank :/ Might have to look into an urchin

when I had a problem with Lobophora tried both a Long Spine and Tuxedo urchins. Neither touched the algea but sure when for the coralline.

Don't count on an urchin to keep the back clean, they aren't very thorough

pan scrapers, they are made out of plastic with an edge on them if you google "teflon pan scrapers" they will come up. sold by kitchen shops,
they work great on algea and wont scratch a tank.

Once you get a handle on the coraline I get this stuff from Lordco it is white and
comes in sheets that are about 8-10. when I do a water change I cut apiece off
and run it on the bottom of the tank, top and where ever I see yuck. I swear by it
I think if using it on acrylic I would test a small area first. Hope it works *
