Ok. You do realize I was joking about cleaning the overflow, don't you?

And yes, I'm obviously assuming that It will be seen, hence my opinion-which is all I am offering, I never said it was a universal truth-and I did say it was crude and unattractive to ME. Again, just my opinion.

Cool, opinions is all I want. Thank you.

(I do know many people who don't clean their overflows, especially on standard tanks where it's not as accessible; so no, I did not know you were joking)
