Cleaning the glass

[StirCrazy]

every day for the most part with me.. sometimes I forget and skip a day.

About once a week for the front and one side. I could probably cut that down a few days. I have never cleaned the back and other side. Except for the coraline those sides are actually easier to see through than the front after a few days.

every 2-3 days as well. would lots of snails do the trick? i have an acrylic tank so i don't think those magnetic things would be good for it.

Ya, I see that. We have more tanks here than I thought!! Thanks everyone for participating!!

every day for the front, some times twice or even more. every other day on the sides and never on the back

I guess on average about 2x, 3x per week. Not very often (sometimes I'll let it go as long as a week, as long as I can still see into the tank). Basically it depends on how ambitious I feel!

I notice that each tank has very different schedules. One tank can't go for more than a day or two before it's too opaque and the other can go as long as two weeks before it gets comparable to the other tank at two days.

And I guess that is the crux of this topic. Why is tank "A" different from "B"? Lighting? FLow? Water quality? Age?

Taking any and all guesses!!

Ditto Tony,

I clean the big tanks every other day, and the 33g maybe once a week, the 10g (sps tank ) never....
