algae scraper

What's the best possible tool for scraping/wiping off the tiny stubborn green specks of algae that get on the acrylic (esp along the sandline)? The magnet and hand-held sponges aren't doing it with those hard-to-clean spots

Have you tried on the scuff pads on a stick things ? I know they work pretty well, I'm just not sure about with acrylic. Good luck.

I have the sponge on the stick, a separate hand-held big white sponge, and the magnetic thingy...but I need a serious scraper to get these little spots off. If this scrubbing continues, I'll soon have Popeye arms.

Not sure what's safe for acrylic tho

I use the metal scapper on a stick, but once again not sure if that's safe. Sorry for being no help.
