Default Equipment to clean tank glass

Hello bros, having a tank with 2.5 feet height here, I'm sure many bros face the anw problem with me on algae and needed to clean the tank! Especially for my tank where it's beside the window.

Can be a backbreaking job especially with a tall height, very hard to reach the bottom, hence I got a long cleaner with daiso.. But after using it I realized it has done some scratches to my tank.. Must be the sponge.. Thus thinking of buying a new cleaner that does a good job and does not break easily(previous cleaner with a shorter handle broke while cleaning)..

Able to share what brand/where to buy cleaners that is effective in terms of no scratches unlike the lousy quality one I got at daiso and able to reach all the way to the bottom?

Hi ts, I have a2.5ft planted too... maintenance can be quite back straining... I'm keeping a hard-working feifeng they clean up the tank pretty well I guess... haven't been scrubbing ever since... if you really need to clean the algae... you can try the the algae scraper tool that has a long stick for hard to reach places... cheers
