![]() As the title states what is the longest you let your tank go before cleaning it (The glass, equipment and so on)
Outside of feeding my fish I recently ignored my tank for 24 days as I was working 19 twelve hour nightshifts and spent a few days recuperating before I went about doing maintenance on my tank. Nothing died but damn some of my corals grew and grew quite a bit. So how long did yours go before cleaning it.

![]() Well, I clean my glass every few days. If I don't I end up with a nasty green/brown tank sitting in the middle of my house. Although, when I'm on vacation it doesn't get cleaned for a week or more.
Aside from the glass, the tank itself (equipment, sand, WC, etc), I haven't done any of that maintenance since this past June. ![]() |

![]() There's been times in my reefing life where my tanks have gone for 8 or so weeks. Mature tanks in good condition can handle it.

![]() i went 1 year and 2 months without cleaning one of my tanks (without water changes), topped of the water, added a bit of calcium, mag, and baking soda from time to time, cleaned the glass with a magnetic scraper, but that was it

![]() My 12gal at my office has been over 2 years without a water change. I occasionally clean the glass. We won't talk about the algae in it though. I have been meaning to shut it down, just never get to it. There is no livestock in it except for a couple snails.
