Cleaning the glass
 
How often does everyone wipe the algae off the front glass of their tanks?
I need to clean mine daily lately. How 'bout you??

My old tank (90g 18" wide) was about every day to keep it spotless.

In the new tank(230g 24" wide) it's about every 2 to 3 days before it gets like the 90 was.

Thanks Jon.

I notice lots of views, only one answer. We have a lot of members without tanks?? :razz:

Every second day. Every week or so I attack the buildup around the sand and silicone, and it takes a lot of work to get that stuff off.

Every day the front, every other day the sides.. and just last week I did the back for the first time in about 3 months.. :redface: That was nasty...

every day if I want to see what is going on in my tank. I think I am going to have to fire some of my cleaning crew and hire some new guys, cos somebody ain't pulling their weight

Every 2-3 days with a razor blade. Or less, if I want to give the blennie a crack at some thicker stuff.

Every second day or so. I like to let a bit build up on the glass to get the blennies out to the front of the tank to nip it off. Plus they leave cute little kisses (awww :rolleyes: ). I clean more often when people are coming over or I'm taking pictures.

i dont really have a set time frame when i clean the glass. it get pretty dirty after a few days. so when i cant see the fishes anymore i clean it :eek: i am glad i bought that mag float. when i first heard the price i was omg, best 50 bucks i spend well other than my tongs. without them i would have to go swimming to reach the bottom of my fish only tank
