A tooth brush and hard work! You could try soaking in bicarb or similar overnight. Make sure you rinse it thoroughly afterwards.

Thanks for an informative article! I was particularly interested in reading how aquarium plants can be used to control algae growth. Other articles which I have read on this subject simply recommend algae eating fish which seems more about dealing with the outcome rather than tackling the cause. In short, I will definitely be investing in some floating plants!
