You might try one of those magnetic glass cleaners from the aquarium shop. The cleaner magnet on the inside with the other on the outside of the glass.. You also might try killing your lights for a few days to kill off the algae. my .02

I use one of the dish scrubber sponges that are safe for non-stick pans.
