Also have a wad of chaeto hanging on a bracket off the back rim. Without a sump you make do. I've let the one side glass go as well now, used try to keep that one clean but it became a pain with limited clearance to the wall so I figured why bother. More surface area for microscopic critters.

I just noticed some on the front glass this morning that I will remove but on the back and sides, I don't mind it at all. I find my blenny is picking at the algae on the back glass as well.

Here's a noob question - what's chaeto?
