How often do you clean your glass?

[NexDog]

I cleaned my front glass (acrylic) today. It didn't need it but as I haven't given it the once over with the Magnavore in TEN days I was just feeling guilty.

Tank is pretty young - been running 3 months. Had some diatom up till a few weeks ago but now....nothing. Either that or my army or snails is cleaning great overnight.

Since I started cheato in the refugium, the snails have no problem keeping up a light algae growth. I still have to get in there every 2-3 weeks to scrape off the harder algaes.

At one month, I could clean it every 3-4 hours. Now at 3 months, its every 3-4 days. I never clean the back glass, and it never builds up. I dont get it. Its nowhere close to a window either.

I like to scrape the sides and the back. I like the non-coraline look there.

Once a week, sometimes twice - sometimes it barely needs it after a week so I slack off.

Every other day at the most. The coraline is scraped off every 1 to 2 months. I attached a scraper to the inner magnet cleaner. Takes alot of the work out of coraline scraping.

Once a week here...

My son drives his "truck" (Magnafloa, vrooom vrooom!) over the fron and side glass when he feels like it. That, with the snails, keeps it pretty clean. I never clean the back.

every day!

magnafloat every 5 days or so, when it needs it...obviously

maybe once a week, I have to look through the side to see if the front is dirty. BB works when it come to fighting algae.

When I had pc over my tank I had to do it once a week. Now that I upgraded t mh 250w every other day.

Once a week unless we have company coming over. I fuss over the tank so I can get the maximum amount of comments. I know that it is a little vain.

 

[PoukieBear]

I'm the only one that does it. I swear, if I didn't do it for three weeks, and you can no longer see through the glass, my Boyfriend wouldn't know the difference!

I do it once a week on average.

Inside of glass - every few days depending on how good a job the Turbos are doing.

Outside of glass - about 20 times a day. J/K but definitely more often the the inside. It seems I'm always having to right something the
!*$(!) big Turbo bulldozes over and then I have drips or spots on the glass and we all know you can't just wipe them off - smear, smear, smear.
