what do you guys use to clean algae and other stuff inside the tank glass?

Algae magnets for big overall areas.

Old credit cards for more detailed areas.
I have also found that a small piece of fine synthetic filter medium (like Ehfi Synth) works really well and makes it easier to get right into the corners.
Good old white algae pad.I use on the glass once a week
I use a magfloat and where I can't get to with that, I cut a piece of filter media into a square and use that in corners and up top.
Magfloat & Kent scrapers
Hammerhead Magnet Cleaner, not a wimpy mag float.

Razorblades for the tight spots.
Magna-float and or razor blade.

I love em, found mag float brand to be week on a larger tank. These are rare earth magnets and are nicely constructed. Caution is in order, the magent is STRONG and will put a hurting on fingers in the way.
Bristlenoses.... ;-)

I use the non-stick scouring pads and white algae pads too and they do the trick.

The magnets are nasty if you get your fingers in between them and let them snap together.....:-\"
