Radiolaria move by clinging on to things such as laboratory vessels.

No, radiolaria are not parasites. They are single-celled organisms that are found in oceans and are part of the plankton community. They play a vital role in the marine ecosystem as they are important primary producers.
Radiolaria can be defined as amoeboid protists which produce mineral skeletons. The skeletons, usually of silica have a central capsule. Radiolaria are heterotrophs who eat other things, but also may include protest algae as endosymbionts.
Two examples of biogenous sediments are foraminifera shells and diatom skeletons. These materials accumulate on the ocean floor over time and contribute to the formation of sedimentary rocks like limestone.
Chert is composed of microcrystalline silica, and is primarily derived from the silica exoskeletons of tiny marine organisms (diatoms and radiolaria), and by precipitation from ocean water.
What they are made of. Calcareous ooze is made from calium carbnate shells of cooclithophores, foraminifera, and other things with carbonate shells. Siliceous ooze is made of silica shells of radiolaria (really cool looking), diatoms, and anything else with a silica shell.

Foraminifera, radiolaria, and diatoms are all microscopic, single-celled organisms that play a significant role in aquatic ecosystems. They are primarily found in marine environments and contribute to the ocean's carbon cycle through their calcium carbonate or silica tests (shells). All three groups are important in the food web, serving as food for larger organisms, and they have intricate structures that can be used for environmental monitoring and paleoceanographic studies. Additionally, they reproduce asexually and can exhibit a wide range of morphological diversity.

My advice is to go the place where you purchased the tank and get whatever information they can give you. I have only used glass aquaria but I know that there are some very large aquaria built from Acrylics so there must be some means of cleaning them.
