    I've used a razor blade.

      I have a heat gun for shrinking insulation on electrical wiring.
      sort of a super hair dryer.
      Helps make the old paint easier to scrape off.
      'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
      He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

        yeah a good old razor blade works wonders, but you might want to invest in a razor blade holder (get them at home depot for a couple of bucks with some blades) because it makes it easier to grip and less chance of it slipping in your hands (trust me i have the scars from enough blades (and from fish) to know a good grip matters after a little time scraping.

          How about chemical removers like Goo off?

            I'd be hesitant to use chemicals around a fish tank, even if you're incredibly careful. I just don't think it's worth the risk. And razor blades work really well, actually.  :)
