Simple Algae Scraper

Simple Algae Scraper
This is an easy-to-make algae scraper for scraping algae (duh) off of glass aquarium walls. Not recommended for acrylic tanks, as it may scratch the walls.
Note: This is not my idea. The original idea came from Here
Note: Hot glue guns get hot. razor blades are sharp. any injuries you may obtain while making this instructable is not my fault.
