hmm, i had this, not nice at all, sort of squigged around with the magnet cleaner, what i did was when i did a water change i used a non scratch glass cleaning scourer, and washed all the inside of the tank, and rinsed as i refiled the tank, had to do it a few times, but it works in the short term, maybe as u dont say it is from a new tank set up as this is what i suspect mine is from
