I find that using hot water and a coarse algae scrubber every couple weeks will eliminate everything as a preventative. This way nothing builds up. Maybe also try going at it a little with a razor.

Removes 90% of the crud that gets on the glass. The other 10% is usually removed by repeating those steps a couple times or if it's a top to a small tank just leaving it to soak in a container with half vinegar and half water. A microfiber cloth also helps remove minor things on the glass when you don't feel like scrubbing it down with vinegar or water.

Just be careful not to cut yourself with the blade. Sometimes, I get stuff (hard water deposits) that builds up in my tanks, that just won't budge, and a scraper is the only thing I have tried that will take it off.
