Just a note on my experience with a semi-horizontal scrubber and algae types:
I am starting to get a bit of light green ice-plant like algae as well. Does not come off easy.
I was thinking of using a razor blade with a small 1/32 or so shim to leave a little space.
To cut the top off, and leave the base.
Now for the really interesting part: I am only getting it under the CFL section. The LED section seems to have
normal hair algae. Weird!
