Use a new brush; make sure it's not too hard or it will scratch the bowl. Don't use any chemicals, no matter how well you think you can rinse it off. Or just get an algae eater fish. Also, pet stores sell stuff that kills algae without killing your fish. And DON'T go to garden stores for algae killer; that's different.
