I use a Mag Flip, it is a combination scraper and the ever popular Mag Float cleaner... It works great, with a tank that is almost 3 feet high, I cannot use the ole razor blades.

And I do have a extra, brand new one... JL Aquatics sells them for $40, I will let it go for $25 if anyone wants. Calgary and area only please. This has never been used and still is sealed, it was a gift, but I already had one.

The Easy Blade is bar none the best scraper out there IMHO:

I keep the BACK pane of the aquarium spotless with it.

I use a mag cleaner for a quick daily clean on the front and side panes. You do need to make sure that it doesn't touch your sand however because it can pick up a grain or two and cause scratches. Once you get any calcerous algae on the glass the mag floats aren't effective and you need to use a scaper of some make.

I agree.

The Easy Blade makes a 5 minute job out of a 30 minute job.

With any scrapper you have to be very careful as they all can cause scratches especially if they pick up some sand particles.

Had no idea what it was called as it came with my tank but it lifts off coraline algae with no effort.
