Apologies if this is in the wrong place Essex has very hard water, when I moved into our current house I had a water softener fitted, consequently the only 2 taps that draw mains water are the kitchen and the outside garden tap.
I usually use the kitchen tap for tank filling, however on an open glass tank I get a lime scale line (which I assume is calcium carbonate) form at the water line, currently I have to keep this removed twice a day and use a soft algae cloth and my finger nail for any stubborn bits to remove it. Would a magnetic style algae cleaner for glass tanks be just as effective, or is there another way of keeping this under control.
