hard green dot algae?

[hammcd]

ive got a fair amount of green algae just on the glass of my tank...it appears to be very tiny pinpoint hard green dots and does not come off with normal glass cleaning...is this indicative of something bad or being off...how do i get it off the glass?

Edit: ps its barely visible unless i look up close at the glass

Coraline algae, use an EZ blade attachment. You'll never have problems again!

green coraline?...its def spread a little

Edit: youre saying once its off with the blade it wont come back?

 

[dawgface]

Yes green coraline.

It'll come back over and over again. With the ez blade its as easy as one swipe and gone. With a regular mag float it takes for ever to remove.

ah ok..ive been hesitant to use a blade..scared to death to scrape my glass

When used correctly there's nothing to fear with razor blades.

+1, razor blades are one of my fav tools for this hobby!
