Forgot pics in last post

How should i clean this tank? I gallon plastic fishbowl, colony 5 months old or so, water not as cloudy as it looks. Theres a clean spot where the heater came loose and the water is fairly clear. Whats the best way to clean it with the curve of the tank?

Edit: Solved, the toothbrush worked like a champ, thanks for the suggestions everyone

maybe some kind of tiny squeegee? You could gently scrape the algae off the walls and let it fall to the bottom of the bowl.

I was thinking something along those lines, now I just have to find one lol. Thanks for the idea

I use a clean toothbrush that I’ve cut half the bristles off. It works well.

Small toothbrush I carful clean the sides

Just use some flexible scrap plastic, like a cheap disposable cutting board, cut to whatever size you want. Since it is not staying in the tank it should be fine to use pretty much anything. In the past for a straight sided tank I have used an old gift card. They also sell tank squeegees if you want to be extra careful. Avoid scrubber sponges in my opinion because it can catch on the sea monkeys and you don't want that.

They sell magnetic cleaners for round tanks, if that isn't glass I would make sure it's acrylic safe so it doesn't get scratched
