who needs a man cave when your house looks like that?!?
1000 Gallon Build- Here we go- Lots of Pictures
- Thread starter Socaltoaz
- Start date
Actually the bar behind the tank is my man cave. I also have a nice little courtyard off the side of the bar with a fire place. And of course there is my theater and my main man cave is in the garage with my fish room.

Don't forget your two-story closet!

Here is a full tank shot from today:
Another issue- all the green hair algae is gone and the turbo snails have done a nice job of clean up. However- I have some really stubborn algae growth on the display panes that won't come with my magnet or with some scraping. Before I go get something more abrasive and mess up the panels by scratching them further- any clue on how to minimize or get rid of this? Will this subside with time like the green hair algae? Water parameters are all WNL.
Here is a picture- not sure if you guys can see it:
Short of fully polishing the entire pane if like to figure out a simple way to get rid of this stuff.

Yup. I save all my hotel room keys...I have 20 of them lying around and they are my go to for tough stuff.
Will try this. Do you guys know if this will continue or is a one time cycle?
Have plenty of cars laying around. Will try it.
Thx for the suggestion.

I had some tough growth on the glass that my old mag float couldn't touch. I bought a Tunze care magnet and it's been great. It cleans just about anything off and with the smaller plastic blades(they come with 2 different sets of blades), it never scratches my acrylic.

Never have problems like you with this dozer.
You can't get enough power with your hand to plastic credit cards by by deep tanks. With this tool it is easier.

Also possible is this but handle with care. When razor is damaged it make scratches but work very well

You need a Flipper. Just got one and my tank hasn't been that clean in forever. For the tougher spots, you need to scrub for a good while, but eventually works. You can get it in amazon if you can't find it locally. I used to use a mag float before. Never again!Here is a full tank shot from today:

The dozer will not clean the algae by using once. You have to cross the algae points more times. But when the acrylic is clean and you use the dozer pads for cleaning the acrylic regularly no more algae points will grow in the future
