Kent Marine Proscraper Metal L, 12 Inch - Glass (Saltwater Aquarium Supplies > Maintenance > Algae Scrapers/Pads > Long Handle )
This is what I use and it works great. You should have around 18-21 snails (various kinds) in your CUC for your size tank. A seahare would also do wonders, they eat vast amounts of algae. If youre having a real issue with algae there may be a phospate problem that needs fixing. Feed less, use RODI, phosphate reactor, etc.
