Have you tried using a razor blade?
Hmm... what about a shaver (like the one you use to shave your legs or face)... maybe that would prevent it from cutting into the mesh?

Cool idea
So Warr7207, are your legs nice and smoothe today?
How thick is the growth of red algae in mm? Don't you find that algae that is exposed to light on the surface is green?
When I harvest, I think the screen is nice and clean and majority of the algae is gone. Soon as I re-install, the algae in-between the mesh "puffs" up and looks like I have hardly harvested, weird stuff.
That would kill the algae on the screen. You want to leave a layer on the screen after scraping, which will regrow rapidly.Warr, is there any reason you couldn't use 2 screens, 1 in the scrubber, the other ready to swap over, then leave the "dirty" screen in the sun until the algae dries up and can be removed more easily.
This would also remove too much of the algae.Have you tried a "power wash" with high-pressure water (like from a forceful outdoor hose)?

OK, I haven't tried the method described, so cannot comment, other than asking anyone with a new screen to be very carefull as the algae has not had time to attach well yet.I disagree... maybe if you over did it, sure... but you'd just have to be careful.
